    Radio stations across Europe play ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ 1

    PETALING JAYA: In a show of solidarity amidst the Covid-19 outbreak, Radio stations across Europe today played You’ll Never Walk Alone simultaneously.

    The song by Gerry and The Pacemakers was played at 7.45am GMT this morning on BBC Radio 1’s weekend breakfast show with Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 show, and Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Music show.

    The song also ran out at the same time on hundreds of radio stations in countries across Europe – including Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Latvia, Slovakia, Romania and Spain.

    The unison airing of the Liverpool Football Club anthem was the brainchild of Dutch radio 3FM presenter Sander Hoogendoorn, who came up with the idea.

    Sander was reported to have urged his colleagues across Europe to come together and play the song in unison.

    “ We all have to do what we can to beat this crisis. Things like this just go beyond the boundaries of radio channels.

    “ [The song] could speak to those doing an incredible job working in healthcare right now, those who are ill or those who can’t leave their house for a while.”

    The ‘airing’ was also said to have put football fans rivalries aside.

    Armed Forces will help police strengthen their operations: IGP 2

    KUALA LUMPUR: The involvement of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) to assist the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) to enforce the Movement Control Order (MCO) beginning Sunday will make police operations more organised and strengthened.

    Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador (pix) said the police welcomed the assistance from the MAF to ensure people’s compliance with the order.

    “RMP and MAF need to stay united in this important mission (to ensure people’s compliance with MCO to prevent the spread of COVID-19) as the military has been helping the police in dealing with floods and terrorism,” he told Bernama.

    Today, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said military service would begin this Sunday to help police monitor MCO compliance and that the people were staying put at homes in an effort to contain Covid-19.

    On March 16, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that the MCO would be enforced from March 18 to 31 to curb the spread of Covid-19. — Bernama

    Agong calls on the people to help contain spread of Covid-19 3

    KUALA LUMPUR: Calling on all Malaysians to unite and play their part in the fight to contain the spread of Covid-19, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah (pix) today urged the people to cancel their plans to return to their hometowns and to always observe good personal hygiene.

    “I ask that you cancel your balik kampung plans, and not to gather or attend social activities out of your homes,” His Majesty said in his Royal address on the Movement Control Order telecast on local television stations tonight.

    Al-Sultan Abdullah said the fight against Covid-19 starts with good personal hygiene by washing hands frequently, the use of hand sanitisers and face masks as well as practising social distancing.

    “The people are urged to comply with the Movement Control Order implemented by the government from March 18-31, and do not leave home if there are no pressing matters,” His Majesty said.

    Al-Sultan Abdullah advised the people to also postpone marriage ceremonies until the situation has improved, this to prevent large gatherings that could risk more Covid-19 infections.

    Urging the people to lend their fullest cooperation to help the government contain the pandemic in the two-week period, His Majesty also called on Malaysians not to panic as there is sufficient stock of essential items.

    Al-Sultan Abdullah also advised the people to adhere to directives issued by the authorities and not spread false information.

    “Let us all play our part to help contain this outbreak, Insya-Allah,” His Majesty said.

    Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday announced that the MCO will take effect from March 18-31 to break the chain of the Covid-19 infection.

    A total of 130 new positive Covid-19 cases were recorded in the country as of noon today, bringing the tally up to 1,030 cases. — Bernama

    KUALA LUMPUR: The retail prices of RON95 and RON97 petrol will drop by 38 sen and 36 sen respectively for the March 21 to 27 period.

    The price of diesel will also drop by 12 sen to RM1.75 per litre.

    “The decline in the retail price of petroleum products is due to the continued decline in global crude oil prices following the global economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 outbreak,” the statement said.

    The ministry said the government continues to monitor the impact of changes in global crude oil prices and will take appropriate measures to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of the people, especially the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those in the B40 category. — Bernama
