Malaysia (Covid-19 & My Staycation No 9 - Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan & Disney Avenue of Kampar, Perak) Sept 6 2020 Part 1


" Challenges are what make LIFE interesting & overcoming them is what makes LIFE meaningful " 

" My Staycation & Cuti Cuti Malaysia free & easy day trip to Teluk Intan & Kampar, Perak with my brother Weng & sisters Inn & Mei, travelling on Sunday Sept 6 2020 (06.00>15.30) by private vehicle driven by my brother Weng from Subang Jaya (my home place) to Serdang > Kampar & Teluk Intan via North South Expressway & main trunk roads - my 9th outdoor trip after the lifting of Movement Control Order (MCO) by Malaysian Government on June 10 2020; my last visit to Teluk Intan was 10 years ago & as for Kampar, this is my 1st Jalan Jalan (Walkabout) visit in this university town !"

Covid-19 current situation in Malaysia as at Sept 7 2020:

New cases         -  62
Total cases        - 9,459
Total deaths      - 128 
Total recovered - 9,124

Malaysian Government has announced the extension of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) from August 31 to Dec 31 2020 due mainly to new daily Covid-19 cases reported in most recent weeks - so Malaysians still have to bear with the inconvenience when going out in public places ie observing SOP, mandatory wearing of face masks, social distancing, temperature checks etc
