As Malaysia enters into the sixth and last week of its Movement Control Order (MCO), the government hasn’t yet come to a decision about whether the MCO should be lifted on 28 April or extended
This is because the Ministry of Health (MOH) is “still monitoring all the data” and “there is a possibility that we cannot completely lift the MCO“, according to Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
He emphasised on a “soft landing” approach as an exit strategy if the MCO is to be lifted.
Speaking to reporters during his daily COVID-19 press briefings, Dr Noor Hisham said that MOH has outlined six criteria that must be met before the government can lift the MCO.
The six criteria as outlined by MOH are:
- Security control
- Movement control
- The capability of Malaysia’s healthcare system in terms of lab capability and having a sufficient number of wards and Intensive Care Units (ICU)
- Ability to protect the high-risk group
- Practise the new normal, and
- Implement preventive measures in the community

Buses/LRT/MRT/BRT and their stations. Social distancing just collapsed. What is the new normal here? Can someone think this out for the new government as there is not much sign of intelligence anywhere so far. Goldfish bowl helmets? Astronaut suits? Burkas?
