Many commented abt #CMCO #PKPB on soc-med, saying it's too early to let M'sians out with such "freedom" as it may waste efforts of MCO thus far.
Well, first it's not lifting of MCO; just easing of certain restrictions to allow some breather for our economy esp, to restart.
[2/6]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) May 2, 2020

Malaysians must play their roles & not abuse these easing of MCO measures. So far I believe we have done a good job! Yes, many are stubborn out there & may just take advantage of the situation - the ones who irresponsiblly violate MCO outrightly & the serial violaters.

An example is, after the government allowed for 2 persons from same household to go shop for groceries from this week, many just tagged along to be the trolley-pushers (or worst still just standing in a corner waiting, whilst being glued to the phone). That's not shopping!

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) May 2, 2020

Imagine when shops in malls are opened from Monday. I can already see lepak (loiter) groups coming in, esp to F&B outlets. #SocialDistancing

Well, we should also put trust & faith in our authorities in upholding the health & safety of M'sians with proper enforcements.

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) May 2, 2020

It's a balancing act with lots of trust & compliance co-existing.#StaySafe #ConditionalMovementControlOrder #PerintahKawalanPergerakanBersyarat
This is not the full scale "opening up" yet. Wait for the full national economic recovery plan, purportedly ready by end May. 🙏🏽

More easing of MCO announced by our PM as part of his Labour Day address to the nation this AM.#ConditionalMovementControlOrder (#CMCO) or #PerintahKawalanPergerakanBersyarat (#PKPB) will be enforced from May 4. Some relieve after #StayHome almost 1.5 months.

Full #CMCO list:
https://t.co/XBoyyGojHD

• No social gatherings like wedding, parties/banquets, buka puasa, etc.

• No conferences/events (incl religious ones), bazaars (incl Ramadan Bazaar), concerts,...

• No cinemas, karaokes too.

[2/7]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) May 1, 2020

• Sports activity limited to jogging, cycling, badminton/tennis. No contact sports like football, swimming.

• F&B outlets will need to practice social distancing on premise for dine-in customers.

[3/7]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) May 1, 2020

• No interstate travel (except for heading back to home for work purposes & with police permit), ie no Raya Balik Kampung this year.

Apparently our economic loses are over RM2 bil/day since MCO began! So this easing for economic & social sectors is definitely welcomed.

But are all those enough to lift us into a post #COVID19Malaysia? While all seems rakyat-centric, hope nation-centric ones to come soon. MCO easing for larger corporations are still a work in progress... 🙏🏽

On a lighter note, our Sr Minister (Security) had received online raves for his choice of colourful shirts worn during his daily 2pm press conference. I do like his shirts actually! 😅 Will get some for work...https://t.co/KkWP3VlSF4

Day 44:
Another day full of violation news & fake news. Lazy to follow.

Sad news too as in recent days/weeks, some companies have announced their shutting down of their Malaysia operations due to impact of #COVID19Malaysia impact. 😰

Day 43:
Our Sr Minister (Security) had to clarify that the RM1000 fine each for Health Dep Minister & group, was for violation of SOP during #MovementControlOrder. Not for violation of MCO. Reasonable. But y'day, all media reported it was fine for MCO violations. Strange?!
[1/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 29, 2020

Everyday is something new! It's part of the new normal perhaps.

Good news!
As of today, 2 persons can now head out for buying groceries & other essentials like pharma & medical services. Guess more #MovementControlOrder loosening otw since our curve is slowly flattening.
[2/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 29, 2020

We're seeing more services in manufacturing/economic sectors being allowed to operate again, with clear SOPs. We badly need this to jump start back our economy.
Next shall be social & education, as advised by MOH, who will soon provide further on the respective SOPs.

Day 42:
Somehow I missed D-41. Quiet Monday anyway!
Today, our Health Dep Minster was fined RM1000 for violation of #MovementControlOrder. Well, justice is served. We trust it's a fair one as I remembered our Sr Minister (Security) did previously mention fine & jail time...
[1/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 28, 2020

... were the penalties for such violations in Phase 3.
Another clear MCO violation at the courthouse (never expected that) was the large crowd with no #SocialDistancing observed. Reporters scrambling to get vanity shots of the Dep Minister (or capture his embarrassment?)
[2/3]

— Gary Koe (@garykoe) April 28, 2020

So, was he present to hear the charges as a Dep Minister or as a civilian? I'm sure he's self-paying his many escorts to clear pathway & not using taxpayers' hard-earned money. Why the need for escorts?
What about use of official car & official driver?
Next, Terengganu CM?

Further on travels during #MovementControlOrder, #PerintahKawalanPergerakan, 100,000 applications were made for interstate travel approvals over the #GerakMalaysia mobile app. I hope they are all really genuine applications and not having some lame a$$ excuses.

It's really only for those who wish to return to city/town where they work (or any desired location). It's a 1-way ticket! Applications will be opened till May 1st. More details incl travel dates allowed will be furnished by govt at a later date.https://t.co/sFJUa3gqIm

The vaccine is not ready yet. Experts around the world are still looking for it. Many clinical test are on-going.
The only current vaccine is this formula from our Ministry of Health.
