Relaxation of MCO: A gamble that must pay off

Since the MCO started, the restaurant has been desolate and empty, something that is a common sight in eateries across the country.

THE May Day announcement by the Prime Minister that the movement control order (MCO) would be greatly (some say gravely) relaxed come Monday (May 4) caught many by surprise.

Even those who had access to information in Putrajaya were taken aback by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s announcement that a large section of the workforce would be able to get back to work and 70% of industries would be able to start operating – albeit with new SOPs (standard operating procedures).
