Surely, all these provide relief to many parties, from single individuals to families, who have been cloistered in their homes for about four months since the enforcement of the MCO on March 18. Earlier, the Prime Minister announced that interstate travel would be permitted from Wednesday, except for areas under the Enhanced MCO, as part of the various relaxations allowed during the recovery phase of Covid-19 in Malaysia.
A Facebook user Nora Ain wrote: “Alhamdulillah, thanks to the government leadership and the patience of all Malaysians, we can regard it as our day of triumph. While we are celebrating, please don’t forget the SOP that we have been practicing for the past three months. Make it as our new normal.”
Pity MuhyiddinYassin & IsmailSabri60 etc refuse to open our schools. Kids are not vulnerable. No justification for keeping them out of school with SOPs. The damage to the kids' psyche and the discipline of a structured learning environment will take long time to reverse.
