I kind of a bit concerned with the decision of PKPB. The main reason of PKPB is to restore economy and to help struggling family to earn money for living. Being in strict PKP for more than a month government think that it is enough to teach the peoples of new norma during this outbreak. The case also showing good sign of declining daily but still in two digit number. So for all this reasons PKPB is a bitter yet necessary.
Day after the PKPB drastic announcement, coming more lenient rules unconsiously making the rakyat feel too ease. At my area seems there is no more PKP and I can see overall, peoples got their freedom and the heck with new norma. All crazy about hari raya that it will not fun without gathering, they went travel to do terawikh with relitives, some wanted congretional terawikh and eid prayer in mosque asking same as how mall is allowed to operate. PKPB is only for necessity but seems it is out of control with selfish, not concerned citizen and some because of unavoidable situation (public transport, public space, nature of work).
Instead of worrying about hari raya gathering at kampung, be worried about the possibility we might infect our family and making them sick. I rather celebrate it alone than taking risk infecting peoples. Just make raya this year a bit special for us to experience, remember and appreciate.
About eid prayer and terawikh congregation at mosque, I dont think it is befitting right now. GATHERING is the main cause to spread the Covid-19 rapidly and widely. Aksing this is making our religion look selfish after the tabligh cluster being the major patient of Covid-19 in Malaysia. Don't compare with malls since mall is open for the sake of eraning money for daily essential to continue living! Being not agree with this not because I'm less a muslim, but I care for the wellbeing of my family, myself, my country and my religion. And there are also hadis saying how a muslim should do during outbreak for them to earn syahid!! It is to stay inside and Allah know better. Without going to mosque Allah know better of your ibadah, your sincerity and you never being a less Muslim. I think having doing ibadah at home because of Covid making ones be more closed to Him, asking His pardon to end this outbreak and may all our family safe. The world and the universe itself belong to Almighty God so wherever you are Allah know.
Church cluster in Korea, tabligh cluster in Malaysia and Indonesia should be enough to show example of this gathering risking thausands of lifes, consume billions of money and almost collapse their country. There are many other gathering such as the LGBT, Concerts and sports but just saying any gathering even with good intention is not proof to Covid-19 virus. I'm sorry to keep repeating about religios gathering because I want to stress out that a gathering even for good reasons bear a same RISK that can cost lifes. Those life might be a mother to someone, the breadwinner in the family or an expert in their area. Exception for essential gathering such as food industry, healthcare, security and frontliners. They must continue their work for the sake of protecting us. They have sacrifice enough and a way we can help is to abaide PKP and avoid being a burden to them.
Islam is the way of life and perfect in any circumstances. There are guidelines to do ibadah during this pandemic. Lets the ulama decide how its going during this pandemic. They are expert and they will do their best for Islam. May Allah guide us.

Malaysian understand about the tabligh and church gathering cluster as it was at the beginning of Covid-19 outbreak. All are oblivious about this new virus, even the horror was seen at China (on january), we never imagine to be affected thus we take it lightly. With unstable politic that distract our focus, the tabligh gathering was allowed legally. Those who back from overseas also not totally to be blamed as they are only 'advised' to do quarantine. What I want to say is, at the beginning it happened because lack of knowledge and enforcement. So we must learn from it and not to repeat the same mistake.
I actually hope if only the lenienity given only after raya. Because it concerned me about the attitude of peoples during hari raya. People mindset on hari raya is mainly to celebrate happily with family, which need to travel and gathering that againts social distancing. Some maybe because of their selfishness but many because they not alert of Covid-19 situation especially the elder. Even in my family hard enough to convience them the important of wearing mask, bath after back from outside, the important of hygine, to protect our 100 years old grandma and I have to on guard for them to do the so called norma and how am I to advise the mighty uncles and aunties?? I pity myself for being too concerned and worried. This showing it is hard enough to control own family what more the natizens. And we read many cases by the kayangan.
Special announcement that cause panic buying, interstate travel form, late ban on mass gathering (religious gathering and wedding) and allowing barber to open. Thank God goverment alert on rakyat concered and act accordingly. This is all new so we are learning. Just hopes it is not repeating.
I do agree with PKPB only to help boost economy in concerend some may have difficult life witout money. But everyone should know what important and what is not, don't demand what not necessary and dont do foolish things just for the sake of short happiness. We are yet win over the Covid-19. Those who out for work may Allah SWT protect you. With the current situation we can only do tawakkal. Allah is the best planner and there must be goodness behind these.
Thank you frontliner for your hard work to protect Malaysia. I think they were the person that sacrifice the most during this few month. Condolences to those who lost their love ones. May Allah bless. To Allah we belong, to Him we shall return.
I am nobody with only bit of knowledge from internet thus all this are marely my opinion. I do think that decision was made for the best of Malaysia based on the knowledege of all the schoolars and minister. All we can do is don't be selfish, care for each other and tawakkal.
Salaam...
