A lawmaker has called on Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to hold a joint press conference with key cabinet ministers should there be an announcement for a more severe movement control order (MCO).

Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming said this is to avoid previous chaos in lockdown policies, which led to a number of embarrassing U-turns.
