Previously it was announced that the country will be implementing the conditional movement control order on Monday (May 4) which means the regulations will be eased, albeit, there are certain SOPs that need to be followed by everyone.

However, following Sarawak, Kedah Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir has revealed that the state will not be implementing the conditional MCO on the proposed date and will only decide after discussing with the state’s Covid-19 special security meeting on Tuesday (May 5).
