Despite them agreeing on Tuesday (May 19) to build the monorail system costing over US$770 million (RM3.35 billion) which links the Miami mainland with Miami Beach, they said the current US$59 million yearly tab would sap money from other commuting routes awaiting transit projects.

The SOPs cover shopping complexes, supermarkets, hypermarkets, departmental stores, boutiques, clothing stores, and mini-marts, said health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement yesterday.

Of the 35 local transmissions, about two-thirds or 22 of them involved foreign nationals, health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said in a statement.

Twenty-one of the new cases were imported, said health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Of the 36 new cases, 28 involved foreign nationals, accounting for 78%.

The number of active cases jumped from 28 reported on Wednesday, putting it one case away from becoming a red zone.

Of the new cases, 31 involved foreign nationals, according to health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement today.

"But if Malaysians work together and collectively practise social responsibility and social discipline by complying with the SOP, we can reduce the R0 further and reduce [the number of new] cases to one figure.”

With the two new deaths, the death toll in the country stands at 111, representing a mortality rate of 1.64%.

The previous low was on March 11 — seven days before the Movement Control Order (MCO) was enforced — with 20 new positive cases.
