KUALA LUMPUR – The imposition of the third movement control order, in effect from May 12 to June 7, has left the usually bustling federal capital resembling a ghost town after sunset.
Restrictions have been stepped up in view of Malaysia’s soaring Covid-19 caseload, with the country yesterday logging a record-high 7,289 infections, as well as 60 fatalities.
Roadblock operations are bolstered, and the vast majority of economic activities required to end at 8pm.
