Seven localities with five of them in Sabah and one each in Pahang and Kelantan will be placed under an enhanced movement control order (MCO) from Sept 16 to 29, according to the National Security Council (NSC).

NSC National Security director-general Rodzi Md Saad said the localities involved in Sabah are in Kota Marudu, Keningau, Ranau and Telupid.

“In Kota Marudu two localities are affected. They are Kampung Kirangawan Darat, Tengah and Pinatau. 

"The other three localities to be placed under enhanced MCO are Kampung Nuntunan Apin-Apin in Keningau, Kampung Lungkidau in Ranau and Perumahan Pekerja Ladang Bousted Ruku-Ruku in Telupid,” he said in a statement today.

He said the standard operating procedure (SOP) for all the affected localities is the same as that previously announced.

He said the order in two localities in the Bebar district in Pekan, Pahang, namely Kampung Badong Dalam and Kampung Permatang Durian, which was supposed to end tomorrow, had been extended until Sept 29.
