The government has announced the resumption of more activities during the second movement control order (MCO), which is currently in place until February 18. Driving institutes will be allowed to start operations starting from tomorrow, February 12, and motorsports activities involving both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are also being permitted to resume.
Senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the decision to allow the reopening of driving schools was made after the transport ministry made a presentation on the matter. He said that driving schools will be allowed to operate from 7.30am to 8.30pm, and will be able to carry out driving curriculum classes, the pre-driving test as well as theory and practical exams.
All driving schools will be required to ensure that standard operating procedures (SOP) are followed strictly by personnel as well as student drivers. These include the mandatory use of face masks by the driving instructor as well as the learner driver the entire time in the car. Schools are also required to ensure that their students are only present for their respective learning/test sessions and are not allowed to wait around.
The reopening of driving schools and allowing motorsports activities to resume follows on last week’s decision to allow car wash centres to operate again. Earlier this week, the government also allowed auto accessories shops to resume business.

So what’s the point of declaring emergency and having MCO?
Syukur caring Mentris prihatin, iSinar untuk smua
Its to reduce the climbing cases, which it did. Now the caring govt is balancing the control of pandemic with reopening economic activities. So far they are doing a great job!
If the 4 digit daily cases did drop to two or single digit, that would actually be a great job…
There are zero cross-state transmission, that itself showed the efficacy of MCO2.0 what didn’t go down was internally and mostly are bcoz people don’t follow SOP.
Musim Darurat tapi smue kedai bukak… marhaen boleh kesana kesini.. apa citerrr, darurat parlimen aje kot kih3…
I heard that the cases gone down because the testing have been reduced. They didn’t test those who have close contact with covid-19 patient.
Less testing bcoz of less confirmed positive cases ya.
Correct Mom. The polit and economic situation had become more volatile; car price inflation reached very high, and living conditions for locals worsened.
Not really.
How they approach this time around is different. It looked risky at first but if one understand the logic, it does make sense.
It’s the same as declaring that it’s possible to land a spaceship on the sun without getting it burnt to ashes, by doing it at night…
Kes covid going up, summore reopen everything…
Tepukk caring gomen, Covid heppi berleluasa..
Previous cases 5,000. Today cases 3,000. Going up where? Logik ada tapi tak tau kira ke? Caring gomen is doing the best but ppl dun follow is not caring gomen salah tau.
Caring gomen YB Ismail Sabri bagi tau mereka yg balik Sabah election xpayah nak kuarantin.. Menmang tepat kes covid jatuh mendadak… syabas gomen prihatin rakyat kami.
You forgot to calculate that there were 2985 new daily cases on 13/1/2021, the day this so-called caring gomen’s MCO 2.0 started. If MCO 2.0 has been really been effective, the daily new cases would not have peaked at 5728 on 30/1/2021, and the daily number of deaths would not have peaked at 24 on 8/2/2021. It’s easy to blame the people when the ‘caring gomen’ is unable to control the situation in the country.
You forgot that it peaked becus of late reporting from pre-MCO, during MCO is when all these cases gets filed. That is why health experts said MCO 2.0 was needed, for our frontliners to get a break and catch up to infection cases but I guess ‘health experts’ simply talking on the web seem to know more than certified professionals. When ask them what is their solutions, semua pun kosong or worse than those implemented. Easy to talk not so easy when comes doing. Fully respect our gomen and frontliners for knowing what they need to do.
You forgot that late reporting & related errors are because administrative mistakes. Why imply our professional medical experts & their front liner support team are to be blamed when they have to follow orders from the top levels of the ‘caring gomen’? Do the politicians who control the ‘caring gomen’s MKN/NSC actually heed every piece of advice from the professional medical health experts?
Who said it was administrative mistakes? The DG have reported it was due to backlog by the healthcare personnel unable to cope and causing the late reporting. Who is blaming around here but you bro? They needed the break to cope and they got it from our caring govt that heeded their wishes. Again it is easy to blame those in control for not heeding every advice because it is easy for those like you to blame the govt for not gradually easing the economy as when able to. Easy for you ppl to talk, bila buat MCO 2.0 pun complain jugak. Senang je buat pun salah xbuat pun salah kan. Xbagi celebrate CNY tau kecam mereka, dah bagi sikit allowance pulak nak complain govt xjaga. Modus operandi korang senang dinampak. Sudahlah.
Can’t understand people never syukur for anything.
Govt do so much and sacrifice so much to keep everyone safe and healthy but people buat don’t care buat tak tau and when Covid infections goes up they blame Govt SOP.
Its not what happens to you but HOW it happened that matters… don’t blame our leaders when rakyat don’t use brains, our leaders have done the best. Enough is enough!
That’s like saying that every citizen has to be grateful when the government is not in full control of the country’s situation, in the name of ‘good governance ‘…
It’s not what happens to you, but how you REACT to it that matters. Govt reacted so badly for Covid pandemic. #wuz ere March 2020
