MCO in six districts in Selangor from May 6-17 – Hulu Langat, Gombak, Klang, K. Langat, Petaling, Sepang

The government has announced that a movement control order (MCO) will be implemented for six districts in Selangor from May 6 to 17. The MCO replaces the conditional movement control order (CMCO) currently in place for the state, and covers the districts of Gombak, Hulu Langat, Klang, Kuala Langat, Petaling and Sepang. Hulu Selangor, Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam will remain under a CMCO.

This was announced by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in his daily briefing earlier this evening. He said that the move to a MCO in the six districts was requested by Selangor in a bid to curb rising cases in the state, and the national security council (MKN) and health ministry (KKM) agreed to the implementation.

He said that during the MCO, interstate and inter-district travel will not be permitted, unless for emergencies or for work purposes. Most economic sectors will be permitted to open, with standard operating procedures (SOPs) adhered to, although there are revisions to the operating times in the six districts during the MCO.

All food-related premises such as restaurants, food courts, kiosks, stalls as well as roadside hawkers and mobile food trucks will be allowed to operate from 6am to 12am. Sundry shops, convenience stores and pharmacies will be allowed to open from 6am to 10pm. Daily and weekly markets as well as pasar tani will be allowed to operate from 6am to 2pm.

Petrol stations will be permitted to operate from 6am to 10pm, but those on expressways will be allowed to operate on a 24-hour basis. Ismail Sabri said that Ramadan bazaars will be allowed to continue, but with strict SOPs, and added that the decision to allow or order the closing of these bazaars in Selangor will be at the state government’s discretion.

      The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

      Lessons never learnt!

      Then Aussie gov must be really stupid for repeatedly shutting down whole cities when detect even singular cases. Maybe its better we follow India gov method of controlling, which is really no control. How bout that?

        Just becaus I disagree that Ramadan bazaar should be open doesn’t mean that I can’t pity the traders. It’s know as empathy. Maybe you should buy yourself a dictionary

      Mco but schools remain open. When schools are open, parents and children are moving in mass. So what is the logic?

      • Fully agree. This time of darurat, parents and children should stay home and have quality time

    They didn’t wait for the daily new cases to go down much further before lifting MCO 2.0.

    KL actually has higher infection rate than Selangor,cos it has 1/3 the population compared to selangor.
    Politician Hannah Yeoh pointed out the disparity at One Utama versus TTDI..just a stone throw away.
    You can have roti chanai at TTDI but only takeaway 300 metres away.
    Rakyat will support any movement control to keep the infection rate down.Make no mistake about that.

      That is why this MCO prevents interdistrict movement even if just 300m apart.

    instead of banning inter-district travel, they should just limit travel distance for non-essential purpose up to 10km, this makes more sense for those around KL border, also keeps everyone in their own smaller area. District like Petaling is big and if ppl inside can still move around freely with so many cases now, it can still spread.
