In a statement today signed by the five lawmakers, they said the purported termination of their membership was malicious and violated Bersatu's constitution and the law.  

MoH’s director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah: We would like to advocate the public to have a homely closed-door Hari Raya. This is unprecedented but at least we can protect our families.

"But if Malaysians work together and collectively practise social responsibility and social discipline by complying with the SOP, we can reduce the R0 further and reduce [the number of new] cases to one figure.”

“But we have to make history. If we want to be successful in breaking the chain of Covid-19 infections in this country, we have to come together as one.”

"Stakeholders are confused now as to why screenings were needed at first and no longer needed now; [they are] feeling unsafe knowing that the threat of Covid-19 is still very much around."

Director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah: If the public's compliance is high, we can control and reduce the number of cases detected

"So far, we have sufficient capacity in terms of the number of hospitals, wards, equipment and workforce. We can still (manage) and the number of new cases are also decreasing," said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said 18 cases of Covid-19 have been reported in the state so far, and it currently has no active cases.

MoH director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham said the ministry will present its latest findings on the Covid-19 situation in the country to the prime minister, and that the latter will then make the decision.

Noor Hisham pointed to the World Health Organization's (WHO) prediction that Malaysia will still be at “war” with Covid-19 even until next year, unless a vaccine for the coronavirus is found and made available to the public.
