As of 9 April,147 stores in Johor, Kedah, Malacca, Perlis, Sarawak, Selangor and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, and Terrengganu have been permitted to operate twice weekly, following an announcement a day before that 20 outlets in Negeri Sembilan and 40 locations in Perak have been reopened under similar arrangements. The days the branches are open depend on their locations. Store hours could run from six to eight hours.
