Due to COVID-19, nightclubs across Malaysia are expected to return this weekend after a two-year hiatus, while new laws prohibiting dancing may be implemented.

 

In late April, Malaysian Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin declared that nightclubs would reopen on May 15.
David Gurupatham, the co-founder of the trade coalition Industries Unit, told Free Malaysia Today yesterday (May 10) that there may be a "no dancing, no close contact" rule in place.


Despite the fact that these rules have yet to be confirmed, Gurupatham warned partygoers to expect "no dancing" and "perhaps a situation where we will have to exercise crowd control to ensure it is not too crowded." "We don't want any abrupt rises that could result in clubs being closed again," he continued.

 

The safe reopening of clubs, according to Gurupatham, would provide stable employment to those in the business who have been unable to work regularly for the past two years because to COVID-19.
The lockdowns, according to Gurupatham, affected between 150,000 and 250,000 nightlife employees.


Jeremy Lim, vice-president of the Restaurant and Bistro Owners Association, told Free Malaysia Today that he agreed with the present "no dancing" rule in the sake of public health, but that it should be amended based on the country's hospitalisation and infectivity rates.
