KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 — Malaysia today recorded 3,120 new Covid-19 infections, with 54.6 per cent or half of these patients found in the states of Selangor, Sarawak, and Kuala Lumpur alone, the Health Ministry’s latest statistics show.
The breakdown of the new cases today are Selangor (675), Sarawak (620) and Kuala Lumpur (408), followed by Johor (336) and Kelantan (296).
The rest of the new cases today were recorded in Penang (167), Kedah (155), Perak (117), Negri Sembilan (95), Sabah (89), Terengganu (53), Melaka (52), Pahang (41), Putrajaya (11) and Labuan (five), while zero cases were reported in Perlis.
Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is scheduled to hold a press conference this evening at around 5pm, after days of speculation that a movement control order (MCO) will be reintroduced in the Klang Valley as well as several states.
On Sunday (May 2), English daily The Star reported sources as saying that the government is set to announce a two-week MCO starting from May 3 in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor and Sarawak.
Malaysia has so far had two iterations of the MCO — either nationwide or covering most parts of the country.
Ismail Sabri was later reported on the same day as denying the speculation, saying that there has yet to even be a meeting by the National Security Council (NSC) since Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s remark on the government’s need to review the current MCO.

I am sure weeks from now we will see 3k for Selangor KL alone! What is more worrying is a new variant coming out from this state! Variant occurs when you have so many infections, it just mutate!

I think DG Hisham already advise current administration to go for full lockdown for Selangor KL but they don't want to listen!
2021-05-04 18:18
The DG is brainless. Many lockdowns still pandemic is around. Vaccinated people are dying too. Why can't the fools in authority understand that no SOP, lockdown, masking, hiding under bed going to stop this virus.
2021-05-04 18:28
They will not lock-down that's the fact. As PN administration can't afford to ditch out another Bantuan to the people, also PN can't continue to use the i-Sinar as an emergency plan for the people to self-sustain themselves... They ran out of plan and ideas. Another lock-down will definitely enraged the people...

Mo lockdown please.
Face the pandemic as if it is just another disease and live life normally.
2021-05-04 18:34
The DG id calling for lockdown because he is worried about the workload. If you cannot accept the load, RESIGN!!

You actually get infected when you wear mask.
When you cough or sneeze, the germs attach to the mask and you inhale it back into your lungs.
It's like you eating your own shit!
