PETALING JAYA: Coffee shops will not be allowing customers to dine in but will remain partially open for takeaways, says the Malaysia Singapore Coffeeshop Proprietors’ General Association.

Its president Datuk Ho Su Mong said he had called up the National Operations Management Centre set up by the authorities on the matter.

“We have called them up and asked them to clarify this matter for the coffee shops.

“We are allowed to operate coffee shops partially, and we can allow customers to tapau (take away), but we cannot allow them to dine in or sit together and catch up with old friends.


“So coffee shops are allowed to open partially for business but not openly in order to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, ” he said on Tuesday (March 17).

He said while some of his members in bigger cities engaged in food delivery services to send food to customers, coffee shops in smaller towns would be encouraging customers to take away food.

According to Ho, some of the members were opting to close shop for two weeks.

“Some members have expressed concerns at having to turn away customers who may get angry and not return to their coffee shop again. They said it's better to just close shop for the whole two weeks, ” he said.

perangai kiasu certain Malaysian customer

just like smoking ban

restaurants owner/worker advice them not to smoke

owner/worker kena marah by kiasu customer

Takda smoking tak akan mati. Takda makan akan mati.

it's time for panic takeaways

Sure got people tapau, then sit at table to eat.

Social distancing while makan.

let toto shops keep on selling tickets for takeaway too! am sure no one will want to eat their ticket in the shop.

lol, but police can tangkap u go bec if many people gather in front of the shop.

bos, tabao

go fat somewhere else

That kind of customer I give a slap in the face for being a crybaby.

time to bring your own table and sit outside shop makan

Good idea to have coffee shops start implementing drive-thru like McD

ha ha ha i bring my own chair

bos, frappuccino satu ikat tepi

Even if get food from riders I would still microwave/steam it just to be sure nothing alive remains on it.

Singaporean will copy Ur idea and implement first

Theorotically if you don't eat for 7 days still ok. So just eat 2 meals in these 2 weeks, enough already.

How about mixed rice shops? Even tapao can get quite crowded, and so many people touching the spoons to scoop the dishes

Subang Jaya No
