KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — Malaysians will enter yet another nationwide movement control order (MCO) beginning May 12, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced today.

He said the decision to put the whole country under a lockdown until June 7 was necessitated by rapidly rising Covid-19 case numbers.

In a statement, he also announced additional restrictions to the MCO such as workplace and vehicular capacity limits.

“With daily cases exceeding 4,000 and active cases at 37,396 as well as 1,700 deaths reported as of May 10, Malaysia is facing a third Covid-19 wave that could trigger a national crisis,” he said.

Muhyiddin also cited the detection of new Covid-19 variants in the country, the dwindling capacity of the national healthcare system, and poor compliance with standard operating procedures as the reasons for what he called the “drastic decision”.

This is also the first time the government has enforced a MCO for a four-week period as the previously these had been issued for up to two weeks at a time.

The announcement today caught many unawares as it came just hours after Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s statement on the latest MCO measures and because the government has repeatedly vowed to eschew using a nationwide MCO as a means to combat the pandemic.

After announcing the second MCO and proclaiming a state of Emergency in January, Muhyiddin told the country that the government would instead used targeted measures to try and contain the disease.

As recently as two days ago, Ismail Sabri also said the government had no plans to reintroduce a nationwide MCO.

PETALING JAYA: With Singapore reporting the community spread of a number of variants of concern, the National Security Council (MKN) has decided to temporarily suspend the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) scheme on the Malaysian side beginning May 13.

In a statement, the health ministry announced that Singaporean travellers looking to enter Malaysia for business purposes must now use the One-Stop Centre set up by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority.

The decision was made after MKN added Singapore to its list of countries reporting the spread of variants of concern (VOC) such as the South African variant B.1.351, the UK variant B.1.1.7 and Brazilian variant B.1.1.28 (P1), as well as a variant of interest from India, namely B.1.617.1.

“The health ministry will constantly update the list of countries with SARS-CoV-2 VOC transmission in the community and will inform the public from time to time.”

In January, Singapore suspended its side of the RGL with Malaysia and other countries such as South Korea and Germany. They have since added Japan and Indonesia to that list.

In addition, all travellers entering Malaysia from Singapore including those under the periodic commuting arrangement (PCA) will be subject to 14 days of quarantine at government gazetted quarantine stations, also starting May 13.

Previously under the PCA, workers had to stay in their country of employment for 90 days before being released for short-term home leave. Upon entry to Malaysia they would be subject to a seven day stay-at-home notice and released if they test negative for Covid-19.

Restrictions already announced on interstate and inter-district travel as well as on the education, social and sports sectors will remain in place until June 6.

PETALING JAYA: A three-week nationwide MCO comes into force from Wednesday (May 12), on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, with all social activities including Hari Raya visits banned.

Ordering the movement restrictions, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin declared that Malaysia was faced with a third wave of Covid-19 infections which he said could cause a national crisis.

All schools and colleges are to be closed but daycare centres and kindergartens can stay open.

All economic sectors are allowed to operate but employers must enforce a work-from-home policy with only 30% of management staff allowed on the premises.

The ban on interstate and inter-district travel, already announced from May 10 to June 6, will remain in place. Only three persons will be allowed to travel in a car.

However, Muhyiddin said “specific measures” already in force in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan would remain. He did not state what these measures were but state officials have made more relaxed local rules in recent weeks.

The announcement of the national MCO, the third since March last year, comes in the wake of a surge of Covid-19 infections, with case numbers reaching more than 4,000 in recent days.

It amounts to a reversal of government policy, after Muhyiddin stated in March that there would not be any further nationwide MCO, a policy reiterated by senior minister for security Ismail Sabri Yaakub two days ago.

However, sporadic localised MCO restrictions have already been enforced in major urban areas such as Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Kuantan, and George Town.

Muhyiddin had been under pressure to declare a national MCO, especially from senior Umno members. On Sunday, former prime minister Najib Razak called for a short, sharp MCO with clear goals, stating that the government should not bow down to business interests while Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan said an MCO should be declared immediately.

The restrictions announced today are:
  • Social gatherings such as wedding banquets, birthday celebrations and official events are not to be allowed from May 12 to June 7. No Hari Raya visits will be allowed.
  • Interstate and inter-district travel remains banned, except for emergencies, health, work, economy or vaccination purposes, as well as for long-distance couples.
The travel restrictions, as well as those on the education, social and sports sectors, will remain in place until June 6.
Other restrictions announced today come into force from May 12 to June 7.
  • Aidilfitri prayers in mosques and suraus will be allowed to go ahead with a limit of not more than 50 people for premises that can fit more than 1,000 congregants while smaller mosques and suraus that can fit less than 1,000 people are allowed only 20 worshippers.
  • Tighter rules for non-Muslim houses of worship will be announced by the national unity ministry.
  • Seminars, conferences and meetings will be banned. Marriage ceremonies will be allowed but with strict SOPs in place.
  • All sports activities remain banned except for jogging, cycling and other exercises with physical distancing.
 
Until nations of the world acknowledge this as a biological weapon developed by China's military, expect this to be the new norm. Keep mucking around with masks, vaccines, SafeEntryTraceTogether Bluetooth dog tags, safe distancing, travel bubbles etc... see how long your economy can tahan. :cool:

KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — The government has now prohibited family visits for Hari Raya Aidilfitri along with all social events under the movement control order to address the rise in the Covid-19 cases in the country, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced.

However, Muslim couples may have their marriages solemnised following standard operating procedures set by their state religious authorities while non-Muslims can have their unions registered at the National Registration Department (NRD) according to stipulated regulations.

He added that all seminars, conferences, and meetings which require physical presence are also banned.

“House visits and visiting cemeteries on Hari Raya Aidilfitri are not allowed.

“Aidilfitri prayers in mosques and suraus are allowed with a congregation presence not exceeding 50 people for mosques and suraus that can accommodate 1,000 people, and 20 for mosques and suraus that can accommodate fewer than 1,000 people,” Muhyiddin said, adding that the rule on crowd limit also applies to all other prayer times.

He said that the SOPs for the operation of non-Muslim houses of worships would be issued by the National Unity Ministry.

Last Tuesday, the National Security Council (NSC) banned open houses for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.

However, the government had introduced some leeway for this year’s celebration by allowing 15 people per house visit on the first day, in areas under the movement control order.

For areas under the conditional and recovery MCOs, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri had said the government would allow Raya visits for the first three days, with a limit of 20 and 25 people respectively.
 
Good for them... Hari Raya all stay @home, can save some money also.. :biggrin:
 
Mean while PAP is confident we got things under control. Now do you concede that LKY's PAP is superior than what ever you have a cross the cause way? :cool:
 
plus vaccines don't seem to work too. Seems nothing is working. Boss may be right, just let the virus do its round.
If letting the virus spreads n using hydroxychloroquine as a treatment from the beginning..this shit would have been over by now

More so than the Chinese on CNY, the Malays like to do home visits wearing the same colour/pattern of clothing. Does that denote solidarity and family unity? :biggrin:

HCQ is cheap, I doubt Pfizer can rake in billions of dollars if that were allowed to happen. :wink:
 
Just for the benefit of a few. The majority suffer..talk about the tyranny of the minority

Also helpful for the virus and/or the vaccines to thin the herd. The globalists want a depopulated planet. :wink:
