Three occupants from the same household now allowed to travel together in a car – Ismail Sabri

Three occupants from the same household now allowed to travel together in a car – Ismail Sabri

The National Security Council (MKN) has announced that it is relaxing the conditional movement control order (CMCO) standard operating procedure (SOP) ruling that states only two persons from the same household can travel together in a vehicle, increasing the number of people allowed to travel together in a private vehicle to three for the duration of the CMCO.

This was announced by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob during his non-health press briefing earlier this evening. He explained that the MKN council made the decision to relax the conditions of the ruling for private vehicle travel following feedback from the public.

The updated ruling now means that private vehicles will now be able to carry the same number of occupants as taxis and ride-hailing services. On October 14, it was announced that besides the driver, a maximum of two passengers are allowed onboard a taxi or ride-hailing service vehicle during the CMCO.

As before, there is no need for those who come from the same household to wear a mask in the car they are all travelling in together, as everyone stays under the same roof, but masks will be needed for those riding in taxis and ride-hailing service vehicles.

      USED cars like Myvi are selling like hot cakes.Why? Cos people want to avoid public transport due to the virus.
      If 4 persons in a family car pool by using one car,isnt it cost effective and lessen traffic congestion?
      So only 3 allowed in a car.The fourth occupant got to buy a viva or kancil.No wonder clever used car dealers are doing booming business.
      You go the shopping centres.Even the church mouse is complaining hardly any customer traffic.People are not going window shopping anymore.Crowds have disappeared.
      People who cant work from home,car pool to go to work.Now they have to be tied down with more hire purchase loans.
      WE cant see any logic .Doesnt mean rakyat not supportive.
      We want to be supportive.

        Precisely bro… We want to be supportive too. But only 3 allowed in a family car. But 40 strangers from different family households can travel together in a bas kilang…. So u started to question Gov decision… or the severe lack of thinking ability thereof..

    Have to make it clear SOP that not necessary sit in front or at the back of a car. Indirectly saying our enforcement are so damn stupid.

    Belfaiya and Alfat and other 3 row SUV/ MPV no clear SOP. Got 3 row. How???

      Enforcers are clear on the rules. Just that people like to viral their damn stupidity and blaming CMCO rules when they were really caught for other reasons (just like that guy was actually caught for using HP while driving).
