Day 1 #MCO #PKP

MCO Period : 18.03.2020 – 31.03.2020

Today marks the first official day of Malaysia’s “lockdown” or Movement Control Order (MCO) – in BM: Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP).

I had a couple of retweets from MOH:

[1] First Day of The Movement Control Order in our country

Hari ini hari pertama "Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan" di negara kita. Dengan kata-kata mudah, "sila duduk di rumah" dan jarakkan diri anda drpd orang lain.

And finally, a note from our Director General (DG) of Health – Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah on the COVID-19 Malaysia situation.

I echo Mr. @DGHisham .

Silalah duduk sahaja di rumah dan jangan ke mana-mana.
