MCO 2.0: Car wash centres can operate from Feb 5

MCO 2.0: Car wash centres can operate from Feb 5

Car wash centres will be allowed to operate again from tomorrow (February 5, 2021), during the reimplemented movement control order (MCO). This was announced by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in his press briefing today, where he also said that night markets and barbershops will be allowed to open.

According to Ismail Sabri, the decision to allow these businesses to reopen was made considering that there have been no new clusters originating from them. These businesses will be allowed to operate until 10pm during the MCO and must follow strict standard operating procedures (SOPs). Any business that fails to adhere to the SOPs or have a positive Covid-19 case will be asked to close immediately

The MCO is currently in effect across almost the whole of Malaysia until February 18, with the exception of Sarawak, where the majority of state is placed under the conditional movement control order (CMCO) until February 14.

    The main problem is not whether there is detection of clusters.
    The main issue is many people are still wearing masks below their noses and worst still some parked under their chins.
    You just go to any supermarket..even cashiers and timbang clerks for vege blatantly display their nose.
    In my taman,all businesses are open..some curi curi.
    There is no enforcement at all.
    You can have world class SOPs..they are good only if enforcement is unannounced and sudden to catch the culprits.
    Now ,people just walk around like covid didnt exist.

      The main problem is xboleh pegi rumah sedare nak ziarah hari raya, but ramai2 boleh celebrate raya kat pasar malam plak ….

      As ANNOUNCED by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in his press briefing, he also SAID that night markets will be allowed to open. Mane pegi logik nyer … Syukurr caring gomen perihatin!

        We rakyat dont like to complain. you see…
        But this is not main video game, any new SOP the govt imposed pipu will ikut je, no complain.
        But bila govt policies koyak, cases going up.
        Rakyat konfem frust, bisnes lingkup keje xde.

        Dulu liverpool menang, sekarang dah kalah.
        If incompetent to make it work, tukar manager.
        This not the time to main video game or politik, rakyat merana hidup tak tentu. Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan, Malaysia sejahtera

        Rilek bro we care and respect each other until today to us we are all Malaysians. Those polis nab thief Ku RM2Million pocket money donate to towards the national needs, Tak ada ke hati perut nak donate? in this time of sad and very traumatic condition, where are the rich and affluent m political leaders, cronies and billionaires. Not a single corporate org has come forward to donate.

        For good old sekolah asrama years, Malay Chinese, Indian, Sikh and Eurasian students lived in the same asrama, ate in the same dining hall and played sports together. It was all WE as Malaysians

      Whats the problem reopening car washes, AFAIK no car wash were any of the cluster groups. Stupid to tell our frontliners go back home as our fight against covid isnt over yet.

    no new cluster. that is correct. focus your attention to the factories and contrction sites.

    btw, the Volvo 244GL looks menacing.

    Condo, apartment, flat tenants would love the opening of car wash centres. Unlike washing their at car porch at landed property.

    Good move, Pak Sabri.

    Only Sarawakians are free to go about their daily lives in contrast to the ‘degil nak mampus’ Malaysians in other states:]

    wash your own car la, apa susah. those staying in condo just bring 2 buckets down and give it a good wipe and refill water at the nearby tap. tutup la car wash. it’s not a necessity.
