GEORGETOWN :

The stage will be ready for theater and live indoor event operators in Penang as they expect the federal and state governments to provide more guidance.

Penang executive councilor for Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Heritage (PETACH) Yeoh Soon Hin said after the Federal Government 's announcement yesterday afternoon about clearance of the cinemas and related industries for reopening from 1 July.

He also pointed out, however, that standard operating procedures ( SOPs) have not been confirmed for theater and indoor live events.

“I have checked with the National Security Council (MKN) regarding this issue. Hence, I urge all industry players to stay calm and keep an eye for further announcements from the federal and state government,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, he said that the state government has prepared its SOPs for theatres and indoor live events pending the Federal government’s announcement.

“We will wait for the Federal government to publish the related SOPs and modify our own version if necessary and accordingly by taking local aspects into account. We will make sure Penang’s SOPs will be in line with Federal’s,” he added.
