Ban on mobile soup kitchens after Raya

Speaking at a meeting with 12 non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Federal Terri­tories Ministry secretary-general Datuk Adnan Md Ikhsan said the directive, announced by Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor last Thursday to much consternation from the public and soup kitchen operators, would only be enforced after Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
