The government has given the go-ahead

Security Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, during his daily press conference, said that the government has approved the application for a drive-in cinema to be opened in Malaysia.

As usual, SOPs have to be followed to ensure that social distancing and all the other measures against COVID-19 are observed.

Some of the rules that has to be followed are customers are required to stay in their cars at all times, and food can only be purchased at a drive-thru restaurant or booth.

Follow the SOPs, you guys!

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia, as the local council, will be coming up with a complete set of rules that will have to be followed.
