Let’s stay calm and fight COVID-19 together. In response to the impact of the novel coronavirus, Malaysia announced an “Movement Control Order” from March 18 to March 31, effective from 10:00 PM on March 16 (11:00 PM Japan time). In short, this means prohibiting outsiders (foreign nationals) from entering the country and restricting insiders (Malaysian citizens) from leaving the country.
