PETALING JAYA: As the movement control order (MCO) approaches its third week, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has urged Malaysians to remain patient saying that the stay-at-home order was a necessary sacrifice in “uncertain times”.
“To my fellow Malaysians, let us remember that we are inherently resilient, individually capable and collectively strong to face these uncertain times.
“Let us strengthen our resolve and stay committed to our fight against Covid-19. Let us stay the course and follow all orders made under the MCO. It is difficult, but certainly not impossible, ” he said.
Referring to the MCO as a necessary sacrifice by every Malaysian, Muhyiddin reiterated that the only way to win the battle against Covid-19 is by staying at home and maintaining a physical distance from others.
“Stay strong, stay healthy and God willing, we will succeed.
“Remember – after the rain comes the sun, and better days will be here again, ” he said in his speech telecast live on RTM on Monday (April 6) while announcing another stimulus package for SMEs.
Muhyiddin also paid tribute to dedication shown by frontliners working throughout the MCO.
“Thank you to every doctor, nurse, police, soldiers, Immigration, Rela, the Fire and Rescue Department, Welfare Department staff, NGOs, volunteers and all who are in the front line.
“Thank you to every one of you too, for always adhering to the MCO. Remain patient and calm. God willing, we will rise again, ” he said.
