Malaysians will undergo the Restricted Movement Order until March 31. While not necessarily a full lockdown of the country, travelling in and out of the country is not allowed and everyone is encouraged to practice social distancing. The past few days on social media have been a toxic wasteland, showcasing empty supermarkets.
With more and more people giving in to panic buying, we’re here to tell you to put that toilet paper back on the shelf.
