He said the state or federal governments will be the ones distributing the food, adding that those who have not been receiving supplies could contact the National Disaster Management Agency or National Security Council (MKN).

“Even previously (when the MCO was first implemented), food was given to all, including migrants under lockdown. We distributed the items to them too.

“For migrants, it’s usually NGOs who contribute the food, because we know the cost might be high. But everyone will get food on the basis of humanity,” he said at a press conference today.

Ismail also said 381 people were arrested by police yesterday for breaching the ongoing recovery MCO, with 372 of them fined and nine remanded.

The majority of them were punished for failing to record customers’ personal details when entering shops (66), not wearing a mask in crowded public areas (151), not practising physical distancing (37) and organising private parties (26).

The authorities also detained 46 undocumented migrants yesterday as part of the ongoing Ops Benteng. They also confiscated four vehicles.

Of the 385 people who returned to Malaysia yesterday from various countries, 384 are undergoing quarantine and one is being treated for Covid-19.
