Thank You To The People For Self-Control On First Day Of CMCO - Senior Minister

PUTRAJAYA, May 5 (Bernama) -- The public perception that there would be chaos after people who had been confined to their homes for so long were ‘freed’ Monday was proven wrong, thanks to the self-control that everyone showed. In fact, Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he himself thought the situation would be bad on the first day of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) period Monday. “Many people, including myself, thought there would be chaos on the first day of the CMCO. People who had been confined for so long in their homes were freed yesterday. Of course, there would be chaos as people went out,” he said in a press conference on the Movement Control Order (MCO) here Tuesday. However, he said, the opposite happened, because despite the increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, the situation was still under control as the majority of people, including owners of business premises, complied with the standard operating procedure (SOP). ”This shows that the new normals are being followed and will become the culture of our people. As I said, self-control is the most important thing for us to maintain our health...it seems it is being practised by our people. -- BERNAMA
