Starting today, masks mandatory in crowded public areas!

Aug 01, 2020

Starting today, you are required to use a face mask at crowded public spaces and areas where physical distancing is impossible.

The same rule will apply when taking public transport.

The government says you will be allowed to wear homemade face masks, as long as they follow specifications by the WHO.

Those who fail to comply with this ruling will either be issued a fine or hauled up to court.

UMNO will decide on its candidate for the Slim state seat by-election in Perak tomorrow and will officially announce its candidate on August 12.

BN, PAS, and Bersatu have agreed that a candidate from UMNO will contest for the seat.

Meanwhile, Pakatan Harapan has agreed not to field any candidates to make way to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s faction to contest instead.

The by-election is being held on August 29th, following the death of its incumbent, Datuk Mohd Khusairi Abdul Talib last month due to a heart attack.

Police have started investigations into a viral video in which a man can be seen attacking a Nepali guard with a baton.

Based on initial investigations, the cops have managed to identify the location of the incident, a carpark at a condo in Wangsa Maju, KL.

This comes after the Nepali embassy lodged a report and appealed to the public for more information.
