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. While we are still able to go out to grocery stores and hypermarkets to resupply our food stock, we can now do our own "Self-Pickup" on GrabFood as well as Pasar on GrabMart. Here's how it works. 

Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has recently instructed the Ministry of Trade to regulate the prices of face masks so that it can be easily purchased by those in need. This is due to the shortages in raw materials that are usually imported from overseas that are needed to manufacture these masks.

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.

Today, Samsung Malaysia is excited to announce that the foldable Galaxy Z Flip is now available across the nation. But due to the Movement Restriction Order, the purchase can only be made online starting from now onwards on selected Samsung Authorized Partners. 

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic means that health professionals and helpers on the frontlines constantly need to wear masks. Now, tech companies are looking to aid in the efforts by donating large numbers of masks. So far, companies like Apple and Facebook have already done so.

It's now day 6 of the Movement Restriction Order and many of us have been staying indoors more than ever. With this, Internet usage have also increased and you may have noticed that your respective Telco and Internet providers network are slower as well. Besides, YouTube and Netflix have already reduced the video quality just so that they can free up the Internet space.

False information can easily spread through the internet and this is something that's particularly bad during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many tech companies such as Facebook have launched information centres, but a local research team has also been hard at work and has been recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for its efforts.
