‘States cannot act on own authority during MCO’

PUTRAJAYA: Decisions by states and local authorities during the movement control order (MCO) period must be in line with those of the National Security Council, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said under the MCO, only the National Security Council could issue orders and directives as well as the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the country.
