PETALING JAYA: Malls are safe places to visit and its owners should not be penalised for actions of others that are beyond their control, say retail associations. He said his ministry had identified the malls in question and placed them on the HIDE list in an effort to curb the spread of Covid-19. Malaysia Shopping Malls Association, Malaysia Retailers Association, Malaysia Retail Chain Association and Bumiputra Retailers Organisation, released a joint statement in response to an article on The Star's website. Only low-risk shoppers, with a body temperature below 37.5 degrees Celsius were allowed to scan the MySejahtera QR code, it said. "We believe the minister may have been misinformed of the real situation and will not penalise the malls due to no fault of the malls," it said.
