FMCO: Malaysia goes into full lockdown, June 1 to 14

FMCO: Malaysia goes into full lockdown, June 1 to 14

Malaysia, which is currently under the third movement control order (MCO 3.0), will be placed under a full lockdown for two weeks from June 1 to 14, the prime minister’s office announced via a statement earlier this evening.

The national security council (MKN) said the decision to implement the lockdown follows on the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the country, which breached the 8,000 mark today, where 8,290 new Covid-19 cases were reported.

During the two-week period, all sectors will not be allowed to operate, with the exception of essential economic and service sectors that are listed as such by the MKN, much like last year during the first movement control order (MCO). Details on these – and updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) – should be announced soon.

In the first MCO last year, the government initially listed 22 essential services, but this was trimmed to 10 during the second phase from April 1 to 14, 2020. These were later expanded to 15 in phase three of MCO 1.0.

If the first phase of the lockdown succeeds in reducing the number of daily Covid-19 cases, the government will then initiate phase two of the lockdown, where it will allow the reopening of some economic sectors that do not involve large gatherings of people and where it is possible to observe social distancing. Phase two of the lockdown will be implemented for a period of four weeks after the end of phase one.

  • 1st, no PKP, if not nation will loss RM2.4b per day
    2nd, PKP 3.0, No to full lockdown, same RM2.4b loss cause, people will still have work
    3rd, PKP 3.1, 8am to 8pm
    4th, interview with media, cannot go to the PKP 1.0 style
    Now, PKP penuh, Total lockdown, how about the RM2.4b loss and job loss then

    RM2.4b is not a loss, it the amount of money which not circulated in the economic cycle. MKN should have variuos info and multi inputs from all the experts on their field. We cannot keep going through like this just because of the numbers of beds in the hospital alone.

Some golongan tend to think they are imune and this group is the worst virus breader they like to go around shopping and visiting creating new cluster and I wonder why they tend to be the positive carrier. Hope this will be the last time of full lock down or else RM value will become like indon rupea value. Next time kfc set start at RM30. Die.

      PM realised that in the end lives still count when the rate of cases don’t drop with restricted MCO so no choice but to take a hard decision to full lockdown. He’s the only Msian PM that dares do that, the previous one chickened out when cases were still not widespread.

    The total lockdown should have been implemented 2 weeks earlier.
    You dont need a PHD in epidemiology to realise the virus loves bazaars,big gatherings,poorly ventilated aircon offices and ill disciplined crowds.
    In Down Under,even 50 cases warrant a lockdown of melbourne for a week.Here we are talking of 6-8000 cases daily.
    Who is not competent,judge for yourself.By MCO 4.0,many families have no food on the table,their houses and cars auctioned by banks.

      I shudder to think the recalcitrant rakyat who breached the SOP even after being reminded again and again. Msians are plain stubborn and non law abiding during this difficult period for all. Food, home and jobs will be gone. Darurat is just imminent, the only way to control this pandemic situation.

      What about used car dealers?
      I think their business will collapse if no test drive is allowed.Used cars need to be driven at least a short distance to give the buyer a raw feel at least how good or bad the car is.
      THe condition should be..during non rainy days..2 windows 50 percent open to allow fresh air in.The buyer test drive,while the salesman sit behind..all with face masks and shields.Does this make more sense?

    We can do full lockdown until end of the year, and still no use as long as police simply give out permit to cross districts and states.

Its not potent enough to warrant shutting whole economies down.
