KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The decision to implement the movement control order for a second time while providing certain flexibility, especially for the economic sector, has not been easy, but had to be made in order to strike a balance between the people’s health and the economy, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

For the Defence Minister, the MCO this time around looks at the economic importance both through large companies and small-scale traders, while, at the same time, focusing on people’s health.
