FMCO: 10 km radius limit for travel in effect again – only two persons per household permitted in a vehicle

As the country gets ready to go into a full lockdown for two weeks from June 1 to 14, the national security council (MKN) has detailed restrictions that will be implemented in the first phase of the tightened version of the third movement control order (MCO 3.0).

This includes a reinstating of the movement limit that was implemented in the first MCO last year. From June 1, travel for necessities will be restricted to a 10 km radius from the point of residence, and only two people per household will be allowed to go out to buy essentials, senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in his daily briefing earlier this evening.

An allowance will be given for a maximum of three people to travel in a vehicle for the purpose of seeking medical care or emergency medical services, including the person needing that medical attention.

For taxis and ride-hailing services, the number of people in a car will be limited to two, including the driver, and the passenger must sit in the rear. As for other forms of public transport (buses, LRT/MRT and monorail, ferries), these will continue to operate but at 50% capacity.

As stated when the announcement of the lockdown was made, all economic activities will not be allowed to operate during the period with the exception of 17 sectors providing essential services.

Aside from this, retail businesses that will be permitted to remain operational during the lockdown to provide essentials to the public are supermarkets, sundry shops and convenience stores as well as pharmacies and food-related premises such as restaurants, food courts, kiosks, stalls and roadside hawkers. For the latter, only takeaways will be permitted, as is currently the case.

While shopping malls will be closed for the duration, supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and all food service outlets operating within these premises will be allowed to remain open.

Other businesses allowed to operate during the two-week period are pet shops and outlets selling pet food, laundries (including self-service), optical shops, hardware stores and car workshops, including spare parts businesses. The operating hours for all these businesses will be from 8am-8pm. Meanwhile, petrol stations will be permitted to operate from 6am to 8pm, but those on expressways will be allowed to run on a 24-hour basis.

      Those who have most showrooms around concentrations of people are going to make a killing with sales compared those with less showrooms.

    Pity MKN failed efforts again, according to Pak Long, over 200,000 stubborn ppl ignored interstate travel restrictions during Hari Raya… this ppl still travelled back to their kampung, causing a spike in Hari Raya clusters and deaths within families.

    The virus doesn’t move, people move it. We stop moving, the virus stops moving, the virus dies, It’s that simple. We go back to kampung and spread virus. Deswai I fully support our govt plan to extend PKP3.0 & Darurat sampai Feb 2022. #kitaMestimenang

      MKN didn’t failed, it was people that failed.
      Let them bring the virus back home and let their loved ones suffer so they know not to repeat it. Let them be.
      Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. The country has asked them to #StayHome so we can #KitaPastiMenang but if they don’t want to #KitajagaKita then #AjalMenungguTerindu. Let them be.

    another in flux of unemployed malaysians and more people losing their jobs. further down the road, you will see car owners selling off their cars or get auctioned off. Properties overhang will increase. More people are declared bankrupt and our GDP will continue to shrink.

    • Either that or we don’t have any more population to grow the GDP after herd immunity is attained. Life is full of difficult choices, sometimes it’s simpler to follow instructions than think of ways not to follow them.

      Travel restriction…..petrol usage reduced. Save money.

      Those who lost jobs and Daily wage earner saved more money. Putus makanan, Hutang bayar sewa rumah dan kereta…. Less stressful and worry for them. Kudos to govt penyayang, Good!

    Sounds convincing. When I sit at home with 9 persons the virus won’t attack. In cars on the other hand, it will attack the 3rd, 4rd, 5th person only.

      With more than a year of prep and experience, and now with all the revised SOP implemented……..let’s see how good it is. See if cases go down.

      If not, whoever behind the “SOP making”, should be FIRED.

      If you want to buy essential items during lockdown why you have to take along the whole members of your house, then the pasaraya would be crowded. This should be your in mind.
