Stay at home to protect yourselves, PM tells Malaysians

PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has appealed to Malaysians to stay at home to "protect yourself and your family."

In a special address on Wednesday (March 18) night, the Prime Minister said that the reason the government had imposed the movement control order (MCO) was to stop people from moving around.

"Within the period of two weeks, all of you and your children should spend more time at home.

"Just stay at home. No need to go out anywhere.

"With this, everyone can avoid and help stop the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak and Insyallah, it will be stopped," he said.
