The Prime Minister was at the Mobile PPV at Felda Lenga Batu 27 when he made the eagerly anticipated statement, reported Harian Metro.
On 15 July, PM Muhyiddin said that relaxing the restrictions is a way for the rakyat to go back to their daily life in stages while the government is handling the pandemic.
Other than that, the prime minister wants to remind the rakyat that even if the restrictions are relaxed, the rakyat should always abide by the SOPs as the community has not reached a 100% vaccination rate yet.
