THE Covid-19 pandemic that led to the movement control order (MCO) in March has taken a toll on the people, with some losing their jobs.

With jobs being scarce, the Selangor government has introduced a programme where temporary business licences are issued by the local councils to Malaysians who wish to set up roadside stalls to sell home-cooked food.This move is to ensure that they operate legally and adhere to regulations set by the respective local councils.
