The government has announced that Menara City One is to be put under enhanced movement control orders (EMCO) after 17 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the condominium.

Nearly two weeks into the movement control order (MCO), the total number of patients tested positive for COVID-19 continues to rise in Malaysia.

Just last Wednesday, our Prime Minister Muhyiddin officially extended the Movement Control Order (MCO) for everyone's benefit in hopes to minimize the COVID-19 spread. During his second live telecast last Friday, he also mentioned that Malaysians will be receiving their 1GB free Internet data starting from 1 April, but didn't say how.
