After Apple managed to launch these two products, does that mean the new iPhones would still be able to meet us in time even though rumour has told us it would be postponed?

New update - Respecting the latest update from our Prime Minister announced this afternoon, Grab will be suspending the “self pick-up” option which was launched today. Grab is supportive of the government’s initiatives in flattening the curve of Covid-19 and will continue to work closely with relevant authorities during these trying times.

It's now Day 6 and Grab Malaysia have announced more updates on their services during this Movement Restriction Order period.

On this 6th day of the Movement Control Order (MCO), Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has declared four initiatives that have been decided by the government. These initiatives came out after a meeting by the Malaysian cabinet on how to deal with the economic situation that is deteriorating during the MCO.

In the interest of ensuring that the rules of the movement control order (MCO) are being adhered to, the Malaysian military deployed armed forces earlier today. But that's not all, the military is looking into different ways to help with patrolling the streets and controlling the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Once the Movement Control Order is lifted - and assuming it's not extended - many people could be looking to resume previous travel plans. For those of you who are doing so, you might want to look into using Touch 'n Go (TnG) eWallet during your trip. The company has just launched a cross-border payment service and it's going to be available first for Japan.
