Shop owner and wife slapped with face mask fine even though no customers were in their store

JOHOR BARU: A couple is crying foul over two compounds issued by the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to them for not wearing face masks even though there were no customers in the premises at the time.

Hong Chee Sheng, 52, who owns a school uniform shop in Taman Johor Jaya here, said he had pulled down his face mask to his chin while standing at the front counter at around 3pm on March 7 since there were no customers.
