PUTRAJAYA, April 16 — The onus is on every individual to maintain their self-discipline and practise social distancing in places such as LRT stations, said Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.“One must always be aware to ensure that the appropriate social distancing is maintained in any situation,” Ismail said during his daily press conference.
