PUTRAJAYA: Telco customer service centres are allowed to resume operations beginning Tuesday (July 13), says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

       The Deputy Prime Minister said the National Security Council special meeting has agreed to allow such outlets that are located in shopping complexes, major supermarkets and stores to open throughout the National Recovery Plan.

       He also said that 17 premises comprising factories, business outlets and construction sites were ordered to close on Sunday (July 11) after authorities found that they had violated the standard operating procedure (SOP).

       “The government has announced that more enforcement activities will be carried out on factories and business premises as there are too many SOP violations committed,” he said on Monday (July 12).

       On Sunday, the task force monitoring SOP compliance had checked 78,975 premises nationwide.

       This includes 2,087 factories, 16,086 business premises, 625 construction sites and 449 workers' hostels.
