Pusat internet telah ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan di seluruh negara sebagai salah satu usaha untuk memperkasa sistem komunikasi serta tahap sosioekonomi dan merapatkan jurang digital antara komuniti bandar dan luar bandar. Bagi masyarakat luar bandar yang menghadapi halangan berhubung kebolehcapaian dan pemilikan internet serta gadget, pusat internet yang kebanyakannya terletak di lokasi tertentu menjadi tumpuan bukan sahaja dalam kalangan pelajar, malah para pekerja serta penduduk kampung. Penularan pandemik COVID-19 yang melanda masyarakat telah melonjakkan lagi kepentingan komunikasi alam maya ekoran Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang telah membataskan komunikasi dan transaksi secara konvensional. Makalah ini diusahakan untuk mengkaji fungsi dan implikasi pusat internet terhadap masyarakat luar bandar semasa pandemik COVID-19 berlaku, khususnya di daerah Kudat, Pitas dan Kota Marudu yang terletak dalam zon Pantai Barat Utara, Sabah. Gabungan kaedah pemerhatian, soal selidik dan temu bual diaplikasikan bagi mendapatkan data primer bersifat kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang melibatkan seramai 133 responden dan 13 informan terdiri dalam kalangan pengurus serta pekerja di pusat internet, pelajar sekolah, Giatmara dan universiti, guru sekolah dan KAFA, kakitangan kerajaan serta swasta dan ketua serta penduduk kampung. Penemuan kajian mendapati fungsi pusat internet tidak menyerlah dalam kalangan masyarakat luar bandar khususnya semasa pelaksanaan PKP. Tambahan lagi, terdapat dalam kalangan masyarakat yang belum sedar tentang keberadaan serta lokasi pusat internet di daerah masing-masing. Di samping itu, bilangan yang terhad dan lokasi yang jauh dari petempatan penduduk kampung menyebabkan pusat internet tidak dapat berfungsi sewajarnya sebagai medium komunikasi komuniti. Kajian ini turut menyarankan beberapa langkah penyelesaian bagi mengatasi kemelut berhubung internet. Diharapkan kertas kerja ini dapat menjadi pemangkin kepada usaha untuk memperkasakan komunikasi alam maya atau mewujudkan komuniti digital khususnya dalam kalangan masyarakat luar bandar.    The internet centre has been established by the government throughout the country as an effort to strengthen the communication system as well as the socioeconomic level and also to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural communities. For rural communities facing restrictions pertaining to internet accessibility and gadget, the internet centre which mostly located at certain locations has become a centre of attraction among students, employees and villagers. The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the community has boosted the importance of virtual communications due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) that has restrained conventional communication and transactions. This paper has been undertaken to study the functions and implications of the internet centre among rural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic particularly in Kudat, Pitas and Kota Marudu districts which are located at the Northwest Coast zone of Sabah. A combination of participant observation, survey and in-depth interview were applied to obtain quantitative and qualitative primary data involving 133 respondents and 13 informants comprising of managers and employees at the internet centre; secondary, university and Giatmara students; KAFA teachers; government and private employees and also the villagers. The findings showed that the internet centre was not standing out or functioning well among the rural communities especially during the MCO. In addition, some villagers did not aware of the existence and location of internet centre at their respective areas. In addition, the limitation in terms of quantity and distance or location of the internet centre has contributed and resulted towards its malfunction as a medium of communication among the rural communities. The study suggests several solutions to overcome the internet crisis pertaining to internet centre among the rural communities. It is hoped that this paper will become a catalyst in an effort to empower virtual communications or create a digital community particularly among rural communities.

Malaysian government started the Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18th March 2020, as one of the initiatives to prevent the more massive outbreak of COVID-19. Recent statistics showed a rapid rise in the numbers of positive COVID-19 patients. However, the statistics on COVID-19 patients being discharged showed that the higher authority was very committed in managing COVID-19 crisis. This online study was conducted among 1,543 Malaysian adults using a validated questionnaire to explore more findings on the Malaysian’s Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) level towards COVID-19 prevention during the MCO period. Descriptive study and binary logistic regression were performed using SPSS version 22. This study showed that the majority of respondents have good KAP level regarding COVID-19 prevention. WhatsApp and Telegram were the primary sources of information used by the respondents. Education level was the main predictor for knowledge (OR: 2.083, CI: 1.605-2.702), attitude (OR:1.854, Ci; 1.42-2.42) and practice (OR: 1.745, CI; 1.326-2.096) regarding COVID-19 prevention (p<0.001). Knowledge (OR; 1.636, CI: 1.302-2.054) and practice (OR;2.328, CI: 1.858-2.916) were predictors of attitude regarding COVID-19 prevention (p<0.001). In conclusion, total adherence to the Movement Control Order (MCO) along with public health interventions focusing on behavioral change may play vital roles in breaking the chain of infection.

Introduction: Since the COVID-19 or novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) happened in December 2019, the number of cases has been rapidly increasing. To reducing the speed of infection, nations around the world have been doing movement control order (MCO) to their city for some time. The evidence shows that MCO can help many countries controlling the pandemic. The other effects of MCO is a change in air quality and gas emissions. The current study made for collecting evidence of how MCO affect air quality and gas emissions in several areas. This study aimed to explore if there are any positive and negative effects of movement control order (MCO) to air quality and gas emissions of areas that doing so. Discussion: During the movement control order (MCO) period, human outdoor activities have significantly reduced, affecting industrial operations reduction significantly, transportations, and other activities like constructions that leads to reduction of emissions. But there is increase of O3 and indoor pollution because of household activities increase. Many countries show that there are changes in air quality because of changes in human behaviour during movement control order. Conclusion: Current Studies concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic brings changes in air quality and emissions, as MCO, quarantine, and lighter traffic affect to better air quality outdoor, but, there is also increase of indoor pollutions. It is recommended that human should to maintain air quality by making reduction of unnecessary activities that make air quality worse.

The article considers the role of trust in the economy, the mechanisms of its accumulation and the possibility of using it as one of the growth factors in the future. The advantages and disadvantages of measuring the level of generalized trust using two alternative questions — about trusting people in general and trusting strangers — are analyzed. The results of the analysis of dynamics of the level of generalized trust among Russian youth, obtained within the study of the Institute for National Projects in 10 regions of Russia, are presented. It is shown that there are no significant changes in trust in people in general during the study at university. At the same time, the level of trust in strangers falls, which can negatively affect the level of trust in the country as a whole, and as a result have negative effects on the development of the economy in the future. Possible causes of the observed trends and the role of universities are discussed. Also the question about the connection between the level of education and generalized trust in countries with different quality of the institutional environment is raised.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the first to occur in an age of hyperconnectivity. This paper presents results from an online anonymous survey conducted in Malay, English, and Chinese, during the first week of the Movement Control Order in Malaysia (n=1075), which aimed to examine public knowledge, perception and communication behavior in the Malaysian society in the face of a sudden outbreak and social distancing measures. Although the level of public knowledge, risk perception and positive communication behavior surrounding COVID-19 was high, a majority of respondents reported receiving a lot of questionable information. Multinomial logistic regression further identified that responses to different items varied significantly across respondent survey language, gender, age, education level and employment status.

BACKGROUND On March 18, 2020, the Malaysian government implemented Movement Control Order (MCO) to limit the contact rates among the population and infected individuals. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to forecast the trend of the COVID-19 epidemic in Malaysia in terms of its magnitude and duration. METHODS Data for this analysis was obtained from publicly available databases, from March 17 until March 27, 2020. By applying the Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious and Removed (SEIR) mathematical model and several predetermined assumptions, two analyses were carried out: without and with MCO implementation. RESULTS Without MCO, it is forecasted that it would take 18 days to reach the peak of infection incidence. The incidence rate would plateau at day 80 and end by day 94, with 43% of the exposed population infected. With the implementation of the MCO, it is forecasted that new cases of infection would peak at day 25, plateau at day 90 and end by day 100. At its peak, the infection could affect up to about 40% of the exposed population. CONCLUSIONS It is forecasted that the COVID-19 epidemic in Malaysia will subside soon after the mid-year of 2020. Although the implementation of MCO can flatten the epidemiological curve, it also prolongs the duration of the epidemic. The MCO can result in several unfavorable consequences in economic and psychosocial aspects. A future work of an exit plan for the MCO should also be devised and implemented gradually. The exit plan raises several timely issues of re-infection resurgence after MCO are lifted.

PurposeThe paper highlights the process-handling during the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) in combating pandemic COVID-19 in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachMalaysia first issued an EMCO following a cluster that involved a religious gathering. The EMCO was issued to lockdown the area, undertake screening, treat positive cases and quarantine their close contacts. Active case detection and mass sampling were the main activities involving the population in both zones.FindingsOne hundred ninety-three confirmed COVID-19 cases were identified from the total population of 2,599. Of these cases, 99.5% were Malaysians, 31.7% were aged >60 years and all four deaths (Case Fatality Rate, 2.1%) were elderly people with comorbidities. One hundred and one cases (52.3%) were asymptomatic, of which 77 (77%) were detected during mass sampling. The risk factors contributing to the outbreak were contacts that had attended the religious gathering, regular mosque congregants, wedding ceremony attendees and close household contacts. Malaysia implemented an effective measure in the form of the EMCO to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, where the last cases were reported 16 days before the EMCO was lifted.Originality/valueThe residents’ compliance and inter-agency cooperation were essential elements to the success of the EMCO. A targeted approach using an EMCO should be implemented in a future pandemic.
