MCO To CMCO

Okay, the announcement yesterday that the Movement Control Order in place in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor as well as Penang and Johor will be replaced with a Conditional Movement Order from March 05. 

More importantly, residents of the city and Selangor may move between both without needing to obtain police permission. 

In fact, the minister in charge reportedly said: “As implemented during the first MCO, Selangor, KL and Putrajaya are considered a single zone…However, travel into Putrajaya is restricted as it is under the RMCO – this is to protect Putrajaya. From KL and Selangor, police permission is needed to enter Putrajaya except for workers with employers’ letters” (Malay Mail Online, March 02, 2021). 

Things can now get moving again! 

On Saturday, Celtic moved within 15 points of the runaway leaders – when they beat Aberdeen 1-0. It wasn't a wholly convincing victory – but it was hugely important for Celtic to restore an element of calm after the upheaval of the previous week. 

The following day, Liverpool earned a 2-0 win over bottom side Sheffield United as the stuttering Reds snapped a run of four straight Premier League defeats. 

Liverpool's first league win since beating West Ham United 3-1 on the last day of January leaves them in sixth position in the table on 43 points.
