SHAH ALAM, Jan 18 — The Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has issued 850 temporary business permits to assist those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
Subang Jaya mayor Noraini Roslan said the move was carried out to assist the low-income (B40) groups affected by the outbreak to regenerate their income.
“However, we have emphasised to the temporary licence holders to comply with the set conditions including not disrupting the peace of the surrounding, maintaining health and hygiene as well as safety at all times.
“We hope that the licence holders would benefit from this opportunity by operating their businesses in compliance with the outlined standard operating procedure (SOP),” Noraini said after accompanying Seri Serdang state assemblyman Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud at the assistance contribution ceremony for mobile stalls at Dataran Penjaja Puchong Permai yesterday.
On August 19 last year, the state executive councillor for local authority Ng Sze Han had instructed local authorities to issue temporary licences to traders that operate at safe venues.
Ng said the move assists low-income groups to generate income and stimulate the growth of the economy.
