JOHOR BAHRU (Bernama): Local government authorities should make the process of applying for business licence easy, especially to those who are affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, said Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad (pic).

"If someone wants to open a food shop, don’t let the person wait for months to get the license. If possible, make it easier. If they want to carry out their business anywhere, allow them.

"Find a way to reduce the hassle and bureaucracy in a situation where the people are facing hardship," he said in a statement on Saturday . Hasni said the pandemic also affected the state government's revenue and this impeded efforts to help the people through initiatives, like providing exemption on rental payments for state government-owned business premises.

He hoped that non-governmental organisations in the state would continue to play their role in helping the people. - Bernama
