Muhyiddin: No need for panic buying, enough food available during conditional MCO


PETALING JAYA: There should be no panic buying during the conditional movement control order (MCO) as the supply of food is more than sufficient, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

"There is no need to buy two or three months worth of food as stock. Just buy two or three days worth of food as normal, then go out and buy it again when it finishes, ” he said at a press conference on Tuesday (Oct 13).
