PETALING JAYA: Pending approval from the National Security Council, hotels are allowed to operate with limited services, says the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH).

Citing the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry, MAH president Yap Lip Seng (pic) said once the measure is approved, hotels will be allowed to operate on limited services including allowing in-house guests, who had checked in before March 18 to stay until their intended check-out date.

"In-house guests, however, are advised to remain in their rooms throughout the movement control period," he said.

The Movement Control order period runs for two weeks from March 18 to 31.
