Primer on movement control


THE country is in a partial lockdown under the nationwide movement control order (MCO). The Federal Government has invoked the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (PCID) Act 1988 and Police Act (PA) 1967 to come up with this order.

Under Section 5 of the PCID, the police shall assist authorised officers, be they from the National Security Council or Health Ministry, to enforce the MCO. This is where the PA comes into action.
