Day 7 #MCO #PKP

MCO Period : 18.03.2020 – 31.03.2020

Day 7.
Watching in front of my eyes (in residential neighborhood) a gathering of 6-10 ppl, purportedly helping out on food bank initiative. Only saw less than 10 ppl collected food since morning. Other times, the "helpers" are just sitting around, chit chatting and smoking

(& throwing butts onto the grassland = littering). Is this "gathering" at the Rukun Tetangga hut even necessary with such low traffic of recipients? Perhaps one or two persons manning the station is enough? Doing good is 1 thing. Being safe is another & should go together.

I saw the police came, took a few photos, chat with the "supposedly powerful & in charge" man with a name tag, and left. I don't get it. Am I missing something...

My points are:
1) why the unnecessary gathering when nothing's happening?
2) if there are high volume of claimants to the food provisions, then will nearby residents be in danger of unnecessary exposure?
3) why in residential neighborhood and not in commercial area (just nearby)?

Being vigilant and discipline on personal hygiene is very important. Be sure to continuously wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash/sanitise your hands often!

A good read.

The confusing deal with vehicle road tax and driver’s license expiry…

A U-turn but welcomed news.
However, I noticed most local media hv clickbait headlines w just "no need renew license during MCO period" but failing to mention the crucial MUST for the motor insurance to remain active. I bet many will MISS that important bit!#MovementControlOrder https://t.co/42WBkKvABs

Point 3 in media release.

3. Walaupun dengan adanya pengecualian khas ini, para pemandu dinasihatkan supaya membawa salinan sijil perlindungan atau e-cover note insurans ketika
memandu sepanjang tempoh PKP. Ini bermakna, sesiapa yang mempunyai lesen memandu yang sudah luput...

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) March 24, 2020

...masih boleh menggunakan kenderaan masing-masing
dengan syarat kenderaan tersebut wajib memiliki perlindungan Insurans yang sah...

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) March 24, 2020

Point 7 in media release as an reiteration:

7. Sekali lagi diingatkan, seperti ketetapan undang-undang, semua pemilik kenderaan perdagangan dan pemillk kenderaan persendirian hendaklah memastikan kenderaan mereka mempunyai perlindungan Insurans yang sah sepanjang tempoh PKP ini.
