PETALING JAYA: As frontliners fight the yet-unabated Covid-19 pandemic, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has once again issued an impassioned plea to the public to stay home and comply with all standard operating procedure.
The Health director-general said the battle to overcome the crisis is everyone’s fight, not just that of the healthcare workers and other frontliners.
“The awareness and the social responsibility can start with your own movement control order by staying at home and complying fully with the SOP.
“InshaAllah, we will then be able to break the chain of infection, ” he tweeted.
Dhiyaaa shared her views on the Covid-19 situation as a medical student volunteer on the ground, on social media.

PUTRAJAYA: The Movement Control Order (MCO) 3.0 which will take effect from tomorrow is not similar to the first MCO because the government does not want to jeopardise the livelihood of the people, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (

He said the government wanted to strike a balance between health and the livelihood of the people after the country had lost RM2.4 billion per day during the implementation of the first MCO from March 18 to May 3, 2020, which saw the closure of all economic sectors.
“When we announced the MCO 3.0 yesterday, some people were questioning why we didn’t make it as (strict as) the first one. But if we do it like MCO 1.0, people will get angry as well. We cannot satisfy everybody.
