Send A Selfie To Prove You’re At Home Says State Officials in India

While today marks the start of the second phase of Movement Control Order, with tighter restrictions for essential businesses and transportation, we should still be lucky as most places in Malaysia are not under lockdown unlike some other countries.

 

But while that doesn’t mean you can go out and roam freely, it’s something to be thankful for during this moment of crisis.
