News & Reviews:   check-in

In the footsteps of Netflix and Disney+, YouTube seems to be stepping up enforcement of its long-standing rule that all members of a Premium Family plan must reside in the same household. While this requirement has existed since at least 2023, it was rarely policed—until now.

Since 1 May 2022, checking in into a premise via MySejahtera was no longer mandatory but apparently, many people didn't get the memo. According to the Health Ministry's Github portal, at least a total of 4.5 million Malaysians were still checking in on Labour Day. 

While the COVID-19 cases dramatically increased in the past few weeks, the Malaysian Medical Association suggests that the QR code scanning feature that we use to check into places is no longer helpful. The president, Dr Koh Kar Chai, also said that it might be time to consider taking down the feature from the MySejahtera app.
