We got our business license today but it is a temporary license. Valid for 3 months only.

Two main reasons:

1. Wrong spelling and wrong placement of the Malay word on the signboard.

We did not have the word “Ber” and the English wording is placed above the Malay wording. It has to be the other way round. We were informed that we needed to prioritize our national language. So we thought, by putting Malay word it would be sufficient but we were wrong! The advertising company has no idea about it also, as this is their first time doing signboard for this kind of business. And, hubby was so confident that he will be able to get the license by today, he informed them to print it out so that they can put it up by today. Since it has already been printed out, we will still put it up and change it before the expiry date of the license. It will cost us another RM450.00. So, to those who plan to start your own business, wait for the municipal to confirm your signboard before printing it.


2. No Approval from the police department yet.

The relevant department from the police force will monitor the business for 3 months. If everything is done according to the rules and regulations, then only they will issue the recommendation letter to the municipal to issue the permanent license. I think this should not be a problem, as we wish to provide a safe and suitable place for people from all ages and gender.
