Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein: This meeting was specifically aimed at discussing the Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA). We have reached an agreement where standard operating procedures on both sides have been finalised as well.
“We see an increasing trend [of Covid-19] and although there are no huge spikes we must control it [from getting worse].”
"If it reaches three digits, we have no choice but to reintroduce the MCO [to curb the spread of the pandemic] and we will see."
Home prices have risen rapidly since 1990, fuelled by historically low interest rates and enabled by the then government’s policies (such as home ownership campaigns, Developer Interest Bearing Scheme and a reduction in the real property gains tax) and banks’ aggressive lending for mortgages. As a result, home affordability has declined by half.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah: There are four new cases in the Hospital Sentosa Cluster. (A total of) 677 individuals have been screened and tested, 657 are still waiting for their results and Kuching, Sarawak has become a red zone.
Of the new cases found, 17 were domestic transmissions, while six were imported — with four involving Malaysians and two foreigners. Three of these imported cases came from Singapore, one from Indonesia, one from Philippines and one from Russia.
“No more compromise, warnings and advice as they can endanger others. If they remain stubborn, then by Monday, the police will arrest them… no compound notices, straight to court.”
MAATFA: With the industry being “one of the very last to be given the greenlight to reopen after the MCO”, the impact “on the business has been devastating”.
HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Malls & Theme Parks: Certainly, recovery and sentiments have improved.
