Have a heart for frontliners


Note to customers: A signboard put up at a shop in Taiping urging Kamunting Correctional Centre wardens or their families to identify themselves before entering the premises.

TAIPING: Business owners have been urged to be more considerate to frontliners and staff who work in premises with Covid-19 cases.

Having learnt that there had been shops here that turned away frontliners due to fears of getting infected, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad said such a perception is unfair, wrong and an insult.
