Out of the 115 new cases, 112 are local, while three are imported.

Sabah, again recorded the highest number of cases with 98 new infections, while other states reported 11 cases linked to travel history from there.

This includes a new cluster in Klang, Selangor.

54 patients were discharged from hospital and no new deaths were recorded, which means our death toll remains at 134.

Malaysia hit the 10,000 cases mark just 12 days ago on September 16th.

Talk of another MCO has been trending on social media, and here’s what most Malaysians feel about it…

Talk about MCO 2 is worrying. Nobody wants that. It doesn’t matter to the rich and powerful because they will be ok but for most it will be worse. For the B40 especially, it will be devastating. This is was what happened to them during MCO. 😥 pic.twitter.com/LC9t4gqPez

Our economy can't handle PKP 2.0, we cannot afford for another MCO,education will be postponed,people will lose their jobs and business will be affected. Please quarantine the vulnerable.

This is our worst nightmare

We can not afford another MCO both financially and possibly psychologically

However if we need to get an EMCO out, do it swiftly. Don’t delay like what happened recently https://t.co/gfKKOBTtSU

PKP 2.0 is trending. We can't handle another MCO, B40 already suffer great income loss. The best we can do for now, is restrict movements between states.

Let’s not get complacent, guys! Keep following SOPs! This is far from over...
