The initiative of the Orang Asli communities in Malaysia during the early Movement Control Order (MCO) phase demonstrates their understanding of the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic. ‘Di Larang Masuk’ (No Entry Sings) signs were put up when they blockaded themselves, to prevent the virus from gaining access to their communities. Unfortunately, the MCO abruptly interrupted their access to jobs, opportunities for alternative avenues of income, food supplies, business opportunities, general healthcare and education. 

For many of us, the Movement Control Order (MCO) means that we are stuck in our houses -- working, studying, exercising, living. 

For the most vulnerable amongst us, the MCO is one step closer to starvation:

• Day-laborers cannot work. No work = no salary = no food
• Those without cash savings do not have a safety net to draw from
• The food insecure do not have stockpiles for daily meals
