KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Business owners must check the body temperature of patrons but are not required to record every reading, clarified Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today.
He explained the main intention is to ensure people are not symptomatic before they enter a business premises.
“If the reading is more than 37.5°C, they cannot be allowed in, and if they are less than 37.5°C, it is their right to enter the premises.
“So, it is not compulsory to record, they just need to check the temperature, and from there, see if they (visitors) can be allowed in or not.
“If they (businesses) do not record the temperature, they cannot have action taken against them,” he said.
Ismail Sabri however stressed jotting down one’s personal details such as name and phone number for contact tracing purposes is still a requirement, unless they scan their details using the MySejahtera app.

PETALING JAYA: A woman has lodged a police report claiming she has been “harassed” by a supermarket over a disputed payment for groceries.
On Aug 1, Vijiya and her parents went to NSK Selayang to purchase groceries and paid a total of RM556.15 for the items by using a BSN debit card.
However, she said, the cashier told them the transaction was unsuccessful and requested them to pay with cash.
Vijiya refused, saying the money had been deducted from the bank account. “My parents and I went to an ATM machine available in the supermarket to confirm the transaction by checking the balance in the account,” she said.
Despite showing proof of the deduction, she claimed the supermarket prevented them from leaving, saying there was no payment received.
“We had to wait until midnight before my brother came and urged them to release us with the groceries. We were forced to sign forms, acknowledging the unsuccessful transaction,” she told FMT.
