KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — The government will implement the conditional movement control order (CMCO) in Labuan from October 17 to 30, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
He said this decision was taken at the National Security Council (MKN) special session chaired by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, on the advice of the Health Ministry (MoH), after taking into account the rising number of Covid-19 cases on the island.
"As for CMCO standard operating procedures (SOPs) in Labuan, all economic activities including industry and manufacturing are still allowed.
"However, movement in and out is not permitted except for emergency cases and for workers who have employee passes," Ismail Sabri said in an online media conference via the Defence MInistry’s Facebook.
He said as Labuan is an area with water activities, transport services such as Ro-Ro ferries, express ferries and speedboats are allowed to operate until 6 pm with limited capacity, this in addition to complying with the set SOPs.
