The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday has issued a statement that he is seeking to tighten the restrictions on sports under the current Covid-19 lockdown orders.
Several areas of the country are currently under different stages of lockdown. For example, the Klang Valley area has been under a lockdown since mid-October that sees office employees having to work from home, while sporting matches including those of football have been prohibited, with training limited to only groups of 10.
Four Malaysian league clubs that are based in the Klang Valley; Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, UiTM FC and Petaling Jaya City meanwhile will have to play their Malaysia Cup matches this weekend in other states.
