SIBU, May 20: The Sibu Division Disaster Management Committee has established a Covid-19 Conditional Movement Control Order hotline for members of the public to lodge a complaint should they come across any businesses not following the standard operating procedure.
The complaint can be lodged through the WhatsApp number 013-9994158.

“People also play a role in enforcement, they are the eyes of the authorities to report those which includes eatery outlets who do not comply with the SOP.
“The police, once they receive the complaint, will be conducting an investigation into premises found to be non-compliant with the SOP such as not promoting social distancing, not taking customer’s body temperatures and where people are not wearing face mask,” he said.
