KUALA LUMPUR – Senior Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof today said that each family  must now assign one representative who will be allowed to go out to purchase the daily essential under Movement Control Order (MCO).

Fadillah said that in line with the government’s policy to curb the spread of Covid-19 infection.

“Whether someone wants to buy their daily needs or medical supply, only the head of the household is allowed to go out,” he said in a press conference today.
