The NSC today released a list of frequently-asked-questions on what Malaysians can or cannot do during the two-week movement control order. “Under the Movement Control Order, the public is prohibited from going anywhere including to tourist spots for social activities and if that visit does not involve matters related to national essential services. You are advised not to continue your vacation,” NSC said in its reply to this question.
“The public is encouraged to directly discuss with hotels in the matter of refunds for money paid for bookings that were made before this order was announced,” it said.Last night, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the two-week movement control order, which among other things bans Malaysians from travelling abroad and stops foreigners from entering the country during this period.
