The Movement Control Order (MCO 3.0) has been declared in several districts which include 6 districts in Selangor and the entire Kuala Lumpur where selected businesses are still allowed to operate until midnight. The Ministry of Youth and Sports has announced that all sports and recreational centers are ordered to close starting from today and it appears that there’s also a blanket ban on all outdoor sports activities.

“It’s ironic that the public is allowed to walk in shopping malls or even Ramadan bazaars in Kuala Lumpur, but they’re not allowed to walk in an open park.”

However, if you refer to Selangor’s MCO SOP, it is mentioned that non-contact individual and team activities are still allowed provided there is a 1.5-meter gap and they are conducted outdoor such in a public park. This means activities such as running, jogging, and cycling are still allowed in Selangor. This information from both general and Selangor SOPs is confusing and many criticized the restriction for sports and several doctors including the President of the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners Association Malaysia have opposed the move saying that it makes no sense.
