LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (

He also advised everyone to remind others to do the same because whatever efforts carried out by the government would not be effective if the people do not comply with the stipulated standard operating procedure (SOP).
“Some keep asking why not implement a total lockdown? Do your own lockdown, stay at home and tell others to do the same thing.
“The best is we cooperate, no need to blame each other, find a way, pray that we will be protected and this way, Insya Allah, we will win,” he said in a “Special Discussion on the Challenges of Covid-19 with the Prime Minister” broadcast over RTM and Bernama TV tonight.

ALTHOUGH the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) which began on Feb 24 provides light at the end of the tunnel, the continuous four-digit daily infection figures for more than one month left Malaysia with no option other than country-wide lockdown effective from May 12.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced on May 10 that Malaysia would be under the third movement control order (MCO 3.0) until Jun 7.
“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 added.
