meng.huat Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Malaysia’s movement control order to be extended further until Jun 9, says PM Muhyiddin KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s movement control order (MCO) will be extended for a further month until Jun 9, its fourth extension since it was enforced on Mar 18, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said. In a special address on Sunday (May 10), the prime minister said even though the country saw many positive developments in its fight against COVID-19, the efforts have not fully succeeded. The MCO was originally scheduled to end on Tuesday. "Based on public opinion, I realised that people want the government to continue to take the necessary steps to fight against the epidemic. "Therefore, on the advice of the Ministry of Health and the National Security Council, I would like to announce that the conditional MCO, which was enforced until May 12, will be extended until Jun 9, which is another four more weeks," he said. The MCO, which took effect since Mar 18 to rein in the spread of COVID-19, has previously been extended three times at a two-week increment. Under the partial lockdown, non-essential businesses and schools were shut while domestic and international travel was prohibited. There are signs that the restrictions have successfully brought down the number of new infections in Malaysia. From the initial three-digit hike, new cases slowed to mostly two-digit increase beginning mid-April. As of Saturday, the country reported a total of 6,589 cases and 108 deaths. Close to 75 per cent of the patients have recovered. To mitigate the economic impact, Putrajaya rolled out three economic stimulus packages worth RM260 billion (US$60 billion). Mr Muhyiddin said in his May 1 address that total losses due to the COVID-19 curbs were estimated at RM63 billion. The government has eased some COVID-19 curbs by allowing the majority of economic sectors to resume their operations beginning May 4 under a “conditional MCO”, in a move welcomed by industry players. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/malaysia-covid-19-muhyiddin-movement-control-order-jun-9-extend-12718738 songbo? 几够力一下！ Jib kor hippo hearing gets delayed...

socrates469bc Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 35 minutes ago, meng.huat said: they MCO 2 months, lost RM$63B. 1:4 soon? average loss is ard rm1.5-2bln per day in lost gdp. ah din has no choice but to extend since he knows that kl is basically a wuhan area now despite the lower number of cases being reported and secondly, it is obvious now that he doesnt have confidence in his own parliamentary majority since he is only firmly able to control 96 seats as some of his bornean supporters and even his own party might jump ship. so what better way to remain in power by extending the mco since ah din has a legit reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
