KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia expects to reopen the economy and lift movement controls for most states as early as October as the country ramps up its Covid-19 immunisation programme, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin told Parliament on Monday (July 26).
Tan Sri Muhyiddin was briefing lawmakers on the National Recovery Plan (NRP), which outlines how the government intends to exit from movement curbs introduced in May and currently in place nationwide.
"God willing, with continuous efforts to drive the recovery process and the immunisation programmes going smoothly, we expect most states to move into the fourth phase as early as October," he said.
