Opening up interstate travel still under discussion by the Government, and this depends on the Covid-19 zone designation of the areas, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob The Senior Minister (Security) on Thursday (March 4)
He also said that the possibility was being discussed but there were many issues to resolve.

"For example, traveling from green state to green state such as Pahang to Terengganu – both are under recovery MCO, so this may be allowed.
“It is not an easy thing. For example, the travelers are from Putrajaya which is a green zone under the recovery movement control order (RMCO), and are heading to Melaka, which is also a green zone,” Ismail said during his press conference.
In this scenario, he said the travelers must pass through Negri Sembilan, which is under conditional movement control order (CMCO).
“It was suggested that in such a case, the travelers are not allowed to stop anywhere in Negri Sembilan but continue onwards until they reach Melaka.
“Monitoring the travelers is a lot more complex. Upon arriving the police in Melaka will question them, and the travelers can claim they came from Putrajaya whereas they may have actually come from Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan,” Ismail said. (Secoure- Malay Mail)
