    Do not bring family to buy essential goods: NSC 1

    PUTRAJAYA: There is no restriction on individuals going out to buy essential goods when the Movement Control Order comes into effect from March 18 to 31 throughout the country, but they are not allowed to bring their family members along.

    National Security Council (NSC) Maritime Sovereignty Division director Roselin Rajab said the order was aimed at reducing the movement of people in public places in the effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 infection.

    “There is no problem if you want to buy daily necessities but do not bring the entire family and children for the chore. Just go out alone,” he told reporters after a special Covid-19 meeting between Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah and media editors, here today.

    In terms of surveillance, Roselin said the authorities would be monitoring to ensure there is no assembly or gathering at public places.

    “If we come across people meeting in a place, they will be told to return home,” he said.

    On transit flights at the country’s airports, Roselin said these passengers would not be allowed to come out of the terminal.

    “As they are on transit, the passengers would not be allowed come out of the terminal. This is because, they have not entered the country so long as they do not pass the Immigration checkpoint,” he said.

    The Movement Control Order was announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday to prevent the virus from infecting more people. – Bernama

    KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has announced an immigration order preventing the entry of non-Sabahans into the state, to be implemented throughout the 14-day period of the Movement Control Order announced by the federal government last night, and which takes effect tomorrow.

    Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal (pix) said the ban of all non-Sabahans through entry points for air, sea and land travellers, would apply except in reference to individuals approved by the state government and who have received certification from health authorities that they are free of Covid-19.

    “The ban on the entry of all foreign tourists and visitors to Sabah is also in effect, along with a ban on overseas travel for all Sabahans. Those who have just returned from overseas are required to undergo health screening, as well as self-isolation for a 14-day period,” he said, in a media statement issued today.

    Also to take effect is a complete state-wide ban on public gatherings including religious, sporting, social and cultural activities.

    “In order for this ban to take effect, all places of worship and business premies must close except for supermarkets, public markets, groceries, and convenience stores which sell essential items,” he said.

    Mohd Shafie said all government premises will also be closed except those providing essential services.

    On March 12, the state government had activated the State Disaster Management Committee headed by the State Secretary.

    “District-level disaster management committees have also been activated and are chaired by the district officers,” he added. – Bernama

  • Using Social Media to Develop a Sales Strategy

    It is somewhat incredible to think that Facebook only recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Before Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004, the concepts of “news feeds,” “status updates,” and “sharing” were limited to relatively rudimentary platforms like MySpace, Friendster, group emails and early blogging. Just 10 years later, Facebook — and social media in general — have become social and cultural cornerstones. According to recent statistics, Facebook has more than 1.3 billion monthly active users, a number which increased by 22% from 2012 to 2013. Of those users, nearly half (48 percent) visit Facebook every single day to see the latest gossip and photos from their social network, view photo albums and catch up on news that is relevant to them.

    New Cabinet portfolio requires time to study: Muhyiddin 3

    PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today any Cabinet member holding a new portfolio would require time to study the ministry and manage it well.

    Commenting on women’s groups concerns with the Women and Family Ministry’s new appointments, Muhyiddin said he had briefed the newly-minted minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun about what to do to manage the ministry because she was new at the ministry.

    “But it’s not that she is totally lack of experience. The new portfolio requires everyone to take more time to study,“ he said, adding that he had also told Rina to work closely with her deputy Datuk Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff.

    According to media reports, women’s rights groups had expressed their concerns over the appointment of Rina and Siti Zailah as the new minister and deputy minister mainly because their track records allegedly do not inspire confidence.

    “What is important is not what her personal view is. What is important is what the government thinks about it and that she or whoever is in the ministry needs to understand,“ Muhyiddin said at a news conference after chairing the Economic Action Council (EAC) meeting here.

    “Bear with us; we will manage it,“ he added. – Bernama
