KUALA LUMPUR: While not objecting to the loosening of the movement control order (MCO), a research consultant says the move is being taken too soon.

Universiti Malaya Academician Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr Lam Sai Kit (pic) said the number of cases has not gone down sufficiently for the country to consider being "out of the woods."
