While the conditional movement control order (CMCO) standard operating procedure (SOP) states that only two people from the same household can share a car ride, there’s no restriction on where the passenger sits. This was reiterated by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in his press briefing today.
“There is no rule in place that says you have to sit at the back of the car. You can sit anywhere in the car. If you want to sit in front, by all means. You come from the same location, you come from the same family, you don’t even need to wear a mask in the car together as you stay under the same roof,” he said.
It has been said before and is not a new SOP, but Ismail Sabri was repeating it due to a viral video that has been circulating. In the video, it is claimed that police took action on the car’s driver because his wife was sitting beside him. The minister said that upon clarification from Bukit Aman, it was found that the driver was actually summoned for using his mobile phone while driving.
So, once again, front or back, sit anywhere you want, but keep it to two per car. There’s also no rule that says masks must be worn in the car; that’s only for when you’re outside or when in an e-hailing car.

Boleh caya ke?? Bulan lepas.. Bapa Dafi baru umum tidak perlu kuarantin Individu yang balik ke Semenanjung dari Sabah..
Boleh caya ke youtube video tu? Saya lagi caya abang polis
How about Lorry? Does 3 worker in a Lorry allow? Now 3 worker cost 2 transport car fee on my daily cost…
What nonsense. Lorries have never been allowed to have more than 2 persons inside since before covid. That requirement has more to do with safety and not just about covid. Get it straight
Yeah say that to the corrupted police
A lot people complain on facebook where they are fined for sitting beside each other and not wearing mask in the car
Did they show the saman or did they just talk out of their asses and you believed them hook, line and sinker like so many others gullible M’sians?
Public and Community is still waiting for the Independent Police Complaints of Misconduct Commission whereas complaints reports can be made for any power abused done by law enforcement agencies.
Tu hah! Dah kena tangkap sebab lain, nak salahkan PKPB pulak. Alahai bangang betul lagi nak viralkan. terheboh ke dunia kebodohanmu. Padan mukak kena sound dari DS Sabri. Jangan salahkan abang polis buat keje tau!
Sabri say can sit anywhere of the car as long not on the roof, so sit inside the boot can?
This is another example of “sengal” reader.
“…don’t even need to wear a mask in the car together as you stay under the same roof,” he said.
Bila masa dia kata “…as long not on the roof”? B*********.
Yela mana mana jela kentang oi
We all have to wait for Bapa Dafi everyday. He is like JP or arbitrator.
Paul Tan, the news title is gross misleading and irresponsible
