5th December Malaysian Defense Minister Ismail Sabiri announced that the epidemic prevention restrictions in Kuala Lumpur, San San, Sabah and other places will be extended for 14 days from the 7th of this month to December 20.
At the same time, he announced that due to the easing of the epidemic, conditional movement control orders, including Penang and Butong, were eliminated.
In addition, Ismail Shabiri said that the special meeting of the National Security Council of Malaysia today (5th) decided that starting from Monday, December 7th, the government will no longer restrict the cross-state movement and do not need to apply to the police for inter-state passes. However, he stressed that individual areas with enhanced movement control orders (EMCO) restrict interstates.
