PETALING JAYA: Chinese associations and religious groups have voiced concerns over the standard operating procedure on Chinese New Year, saying that movement restrictions were necessary to curb infections but hope the government would be more mindful and lenient with such rulings.

Federation of Taoist Associations Malaysia president Tan Hoe Chieow said the government should allow family members who live within a 10km radius to have the reunion dinner together at home.
