Federal Govt Gazette: What's allowed and what's not under the CMCO

KUALA LUMPUR (May 14): Under the more relaxed conditional movement control order (CMCO) that will be enforced from May 13 till June 9, lawmakers and assemblymen will be allowed to attend Parliament or state assembly sittings.

This is according to the Federal Government Gazette that has been published.

However, the upcoming Parliament sitting, which has been scheduled for one day on May 18, will only feature the royal address.

Parliament speaker Datuk Seri Mohamad Ariff previously issued a statement to state that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had informed him of the government's decision to change the meeting agenda as the Covid-19 outbreak had not been fully curbed. 

Meanwhile, in conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya Puasa, Pesta Kaamatan and Gawai Dayak Day, gatherings of up to 20 people are allowed — subject to such directions from the health director-general, according to the gazette. The same applies to gatherings for any funerals.
