Other rules should be relaxed first, say industry leaders

Stakeholders said the requirement should be maintained for the time being to minimise the risk of Covid-19 transmission.

Uzaidi, who is also the Malaysia Tourism Council president, said if the government has any plans to relax the requirement, it is best to wait until the Hari Raya festive season is over to explore the possibility, as many people will be travelling during this period. However, he hoped the government will also look into relaxing the Covid-19 testing requirement for tourists.

The focus should first be on allowing all businesses to reopen and operate fully, he said, noting that nightclubs are still closed and DJs and musicians have yet to resume gigs.
