RESTAURATEURS in the Klang Valley say they are in a tight spot with regard to allowing patrons to dine in and ensuring the customers follow the Government’s standard operating procedures (SOP) to curb the spread of Covid-19.The restaurant operators claimed that some diners were not easy to deal with and turned aggressive when reminded to adhere to the SOP.

They also said the authorities, including the police, were strict with operators when diners were spotted flouting the rules that have been put in place during the conditional movement control order (MCO).
