Malaysia s Health Ministry yesterday reported that the total number of cases has risen to 155,095.
There were eight new deaths to bring the total number of fatalities to 594.
Malaysia reimposed its second Movement Control Order (MCO) for two weeks last Wednesday, owing to a steep rise in Covid-19 cases.
The two-week MCO 2.0 involves five states, such as Selangor and Johor, and the three federal territories, including Kuala Lumpur. The MCO has now been extended to Kelantan state.
The number of Covid-19 cases has stubbornly stayed above 2,000 a day for most of this month.
On March 18 last year when the first MCO was imposed, the daily coronavirus cases stood at 117.
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia reported a new record high of coronavirus cases on Saturday (Jan 16) with 4,029 daily infections, even as the public continued to debate the government s flip-flopping on what should be shut down during the movement curbs that were reimposed last Wednesday.

Nine Pakatan Harapan MPs in Kuala Lumpur today urged Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa to respond to their objections on the proposed set-up for a Federal Territories Consultation Committee.
The five DAP MPs and four from PKR said they wrote to Annuar on Dec 7 but have yet to receive a response on their feedback to the proposal to replace the Harapan-era FT Ministers Council. We submitted several objections with regards to the terms of reference and the committee s standing orders. Also, for a meeting to be called with the minister to discuss Kuala Lumpur City Hall s (DBKL)and the ministry s budget, as well as terms for the committee, they said.
