MP criticises abrupt announcement of MCO relaxation, says will cause confusion while Covid-19 still a threat | Malay MailKUCHING, May 1 — The prime minister should have announced the relaxation of the movement control order in a full and detailed manner on Monday instead of during a public holiday just before the weekend, Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen argued today. The federal lawmaker said the timing of... COVID-19 will be a threat for awhile. It was bad Comms on PM part but people were feeling restless at home and mental health was taking a strain esp seeing Zahid 's daughter prance around ... When they couldn't. MCO is mean to flatter the curve not to zero-ing the pandemic. Somehow, it needs to be balance as government won't be able to help all. They should have done it in stages. Relax a bit more n more a week later n so on. Also why the red zone is the same as green? Surely going to explode again?
