Meanwhile, Assistant Minister of Transport, Datuk Dr Jerip Susil commended the effort of all the village chiefs and JKKK for putting up such banners.

In his recorded message, Dr Jerip, who is Mambong assemblyman, advised the people in the area to comply with the Movement Control Order (MCO) announced by both the Federal and State government.

“To the people in Mambong constituency, please comply with MCO and stay at home. If you need to go out, wear masks due to Covid 19.”

“Please also look after your personal hygiene and that of your family members,” Dr Jerip advised.

He said even though there was no reported cases in Mambong area, the people must never be complacent.

“We must take this Covid 19 very seriously and never be complacent, before it harm us and our family, Dr Jerip asserted. —DayakDaily
