In his latest press conference, Defence Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced a full list of SOPs for Chinese New Year celebrations in Malaysia happening on 12 and 13 February 2021. The minister said that the SOPs will be similar to the ones observed during the Deepavali celebrations last year. These SOPs will come into effect on 11 and 12 February 2021.
Here’s a complete list of SOPs for CNY celebrations during the Movement Control Order:
1. No visitations to relative’s house on both days and the festival can only be celebrated in your house
2. Reunion dinners are only allowed with immediate family members living in the same house
3. No one except five committee members will be allowed to visit Buddhist temples
4. Interstate and interdistrict travel will NOT be allowed
5. Since there are some areas in Sarawak under CMCO and MCO, the SOP decision will be completely up to the state government.
Stay tuned for more updates!
