With the implementation of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), many Malaysians seem to have forgotten the Covid-19 pandemic is still raging in many parts of the world and has not been eliminated or eradicated here. This caution seems to have fallen on deaf ears as many are taking a lackadaisical approach to prevention measures against the spread of the coronavirus.
This was said by Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Deputy Minister (Security) during a press conference broadcast by Astro Awani. Saying the closing of the East Coast Highway (LPT) over the weekend where bikers were stopped and checked was an isolated incident, Sabri said this was the first occurrence and hoped it would not be repeated.
“Police will take action against RMCO offences. However, if this continues to happen and there are mass gatherings, no social distancing, it is likely we will review the permission (for motorcycle convoys),” Sabri said. Sabri then gave the example of RMCO permissions for certain business premises being withdrawn and said the same could happen to motorcycle convoys.
“Like restaurants or business premises that flout RMCO standard operating procedures (SOP), there are restaurants there were closed for not following SOP. I hope motorcycle convoy participants will adhere to SOP because if too many do not follow the rules, this will result in all convoys being banned,” said Sabri.

Abang abang convoy..new cluster incoming. sigh

my abang one of them…all hepi can go merayap.
Please ban permanently for the sake of other road users
Ini lah kumpulan bermotor yang memalukan pencinta motosikal sebenar. My love in riding a bike never dies; whether its my trusted Vulcan or my all-so-evergreen c70. But I got really – extremely embarrassed seeing fellow bikers, especially in large(r) groups who disregard the safety of others, now more so than ever due to their tendency to ‘disrespect’ social distancing when restrictions is eased off a little bit. Yesterday alone in Segamat, Johor local patin restaurant and durian stalls are their target. Konon lepas gian nak berkonvoi. Konon ‘cool’ lah sangat. Mereka tak fikir kah orang lain meluat dan menyampah SEMUA peminat motor hanya kerana segelintir mereka2 ini yang tak faham bahasa?
Well said, no need to add anything
these bikers are nuisance on the hi-way. why do they need to convoy anyway, just take the express bus lah!!
I’m a lone rider….since 1996..
i’m ok with the convoys. as long as they don’t take up the whole road as if it belongs to them.
Kesian Abang abang konvoi moto. All their bikes serviced, polished, plastered with stickers, jaket and helmet ready to wear…..but cannot ride now.
Nevermind, just kepit sbit their beloved static moto at house porch for the time being.
They are nuisance for other road user, they think they are king of the road by hogging the fast lane and expect you to give way to them, they will high beam you.
that is why we MALAYSIANS cannot have good things.. when give you 1 meter, you take 100 meters..
RMCO = RECOVERY Movement Control Order (in Para 1, Line 1)
