KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 -- Almost all social activities, as well as those in which physical distancing is difficult to maintain, are not allowed during the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in six states, which will be enforced from 12.01 am (Jan 13).

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said this included celebrations such as weddings and engagements, receptions, birthday celebrations, ‘kenduri’ (feasts), and ‘majlis doa selamat’ (prayer ceremonies).

Apart from that, he said face-to-face meetings organised by the government, private or non-governmental organisations, and those related to the MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions) industry were not allowed.

“In this MCO, we will focus more on social activities. In terms of the economy, some (businesses) are allowed, and they are quite many as well, but what is not allowed at all or only partially allowed is social activities," he said during his daily press conference here today.

The recently announced MCO which takes effect from tomorrow (Jan 13) to Jan 26, involves Penang, Selangor, the Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan), Melaka, Johor and Sabah.
