Ismail said breaking of fast events such as buffets at hotels and restaurants would be allowed under strict SOPs, while food premises in states under CMCO and RMCO would be allowed to operate until 6am during the Ramadan period.

He said this was to enable those who are fasting, especially single people, to purchase food for their pre-dawn meals.

However, he said eateries at shopping malls or supermarkets would be subject to the premises’ operating hours.
