    Gov’t cancels ‘Visit Malaysia 2020’ campaign over Covid-19 2

    KUALA LUMPUR: The government has cancelled the Visit Malaysia 2020 campaign due to the Covid-19 situation, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri announced tonight.

    She said Covid-19 has had a detrimental effect on the tourism sector in Malaysia in particular and the world in general.

    Due to the movement control order from March 18 to 31 to check the spread of Covid-19, the ministry had to freeze many tourism-related services, she said in a statement.

    The services include all counter and online services at the Tourism Licensing Division and ministry offices in the states, such as licensing of tour companies, tour guides, tourism accommodation, spas and foot reflexology centres, she added.

    Nancy said in line with the Movement Control Order, all tourist accommodations are allowed to operate at a minimum level.

    “All guests at the accommodation premises must remain in their respective rooms during the quarantine period and order their meals through room service.

    “Check-ins at tourist accommodation will also be permitted, but on a small and limited scale,” she said.

    However, new domestic tourists wanted to check-in at the premises would not be allowed, she added.

    VM2020 was launched on Dec 31, targeting 30 million visitor arrivals and RM100 billion tourist receipts. – Bernama

    PETALING JAYA: Selangor police went full force tonight in enforcing the restricted movement order on its first full day, by mounting roadblocks and conducting checks on business outlets that continued to operate as usual.

    Dozens of police teams were despatched to various areas in the Klang Valley to detect shop operators who had defied the order and to ensure that their businesses were shut down.

    Car repair workshops, car wash centres, vape stores and religious gatherings were among those approached by the police teams.

    In Petaling Jaya, district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said that about four roadblocks are in place round-the-clock for conducting checks on motorists who remain outdoors.

    “We are focusing on educating our communities on the importance of staying indoors,” he said.

    In Kuala Lumpur, similar efforts were taken by state police.

    A police four-wheel-drive vehicle was seen moving in the city with loudspeakers playing announcements urging the public to observe the restricted movement order.

    Elsewhere, food stall operators who defied the order were advised to close down and return home.

    Although police have the powers to detain those who defied orders to remain indoors, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said on Tuesday that a softer approach of advising and issuing warnings will be adopted in the early stages of the order’s implementation.

    KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has given its approval for the plantation industry to resume operations during the Covid-19 restriction movement order period with immediate effect.

    The Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) said the approval had conditions attached, including requiring the industry to ensure precautionary measures were being taken to contain and address the Covid-19 situation.

    “All guidelines and conditions set by the authorities to contain Covid-19 are to be strictly adhered to, failing which this approval to operate may be revoked.

    “In this context, we plead for our members to introduce standard operating procedures to that effect,” it said in a statement today. – Bernama

    Just stay at home, pleads PM (Updated) 5

    PETALING JAYA: Please, stay at home and protect yourself and your family.

    This was the ultimate message by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to all Malaysians in his special address tonight as the country enters its second day of the 14 days restriction of movement order (RMO).

    Muhyiddin explained that the goal of the movement restrictions was to minimise exposure to the Covid-19 virus, after many among the public disregarded the order to travel to their hometowns, while others were spotted in public areas.

    “The reason of the RMO is so that all of you need not travel. You don’t have to crowd the trains and buses or eateries, and your children are not required to go to school, which could expose them (to the virus).

    “I plead to you, please, stay put where you are. I plead, just for this two weeks … stay at home quietly,” he said.

    Muhyiddin said it was pertinent that Malaysians adhere to the RMO to break the chain of infection and ultimately reduce the number of those infected with the novel coronavirus.

    He reminded the public that the virus could be transmitted from person to person through touch, and that if they continue to travel around, the chances of them contracting Covid-19 was higher.

    He added that the reason the RMO was set to two weeks was because the Covid-19 has an incubation period of 14 days.

    “The government is hoping that after this period, those still with symptoms can be identified and separated for treatment, and finally make Malaysia free of Covid-19.

    “If during this period we are not successful, the government may be forced to extend the restriction order,” he said.

    Muhyiddin said while the concept of staying home and avoiding public places looked simple in principle, this was particularly important if the country wishes to contain the virus.

    He also urged those who need to move around to purchase essential daily items to practise good hygiene and avoid any physical contact with others.

    “As a prime minister, I have a huge responsibility to handle the crisis. But I can’t possibly do it alone. I need all of your help. God willing, we can overcome this crisis together,” he said.

    To date, 790 people have been infected by the Covid-19, with 117 new cases recorded today. Two Malaysians died to the virus on Tuesday.
