Overview:

COVID-19 has caused our government to issue a movement control order (MCO) which sets restrictions on Malaysians being outdoors. This was especially crucial in curbing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Read on to learn how Malaysians feel about the governments' initiatives during this crisis.

Some points to take note of are:

  • 58% say they are optimistic that Malaysia will recover from COVID-19 with zero new cases reported, while 5% say they are not at all optimistic.
  • 17% Malaysians think the governments recent initiative to help Malaysians during this period by reducing the employee's EPF mandatory contribution is not at all helpful, while 76% think the financial aid provided during this period is extremely useful.
  • 41% Malaysians foresee the MCO to last until the end of April, while 11% predict it will last until mid May.
  • 73% say that they will go out once the MCO is lifted, however, will limit their movements outdoors, while 12% say they will not go out for some time.
