The minister conceded that such leeway was required to ensure those in need of medical attention are able to receive treatment, adding there is no reason to prevent their movements if their health is at stake. “So, we have specific leeway for those going to seek treatment. There is no issue actually for them. They just need to say that they must get medical attention for the sake of their health,” he said during a press conference at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang this afternoon.

His comments come following reports that those needing medical attention were asked to turn back at roadblocks after the start of the second phase of the MCO on April 1.

Reconsider 1 person in car rule. Neighbours can share one car out to market, less cars on road. Also some old folks are the ones who does the marketing with one family driving them. Less wastage. And re look on the 10km radius 🙏. Need to fine tune these rulings

Reconsider 10km movement restriction, says health coalitionPETALING JAYA: The government must reconsider the 10km movement restriction that came into force under the second phase of the Movement Control Order ... I dont even travel 1 KM . 10km too far for city folk. I think should be 3km only. I think many people travelled out to buy marketing/groceries & also deliver to their elderly parents/relatives. That could explain going to buy at places further than their own house. Some consideration needed on this rule🙏
