|quote = "Hari ini ialah hari pertama kita di bawah "[[Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan]]". Dalam perkataan mudah, "tolong duduk di rumah" dan jarakkan diri anda daripada orang lain. Kita mempunyai peluang yang tipis untuk memutuskan rantaian penularan COVID-19. Tolong [[Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia|KKM]] dengan memainkan peranan anda, kerana setiap daripada kita mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk mengambil semua langkah berjaga-jaga demi menjaga keselamatan diri dan keluarga. Kegagalan bukanlah pilihan di sini, jika tidak, kita mungkin menghadapi gelombang ketiga virus ini yang seterusnya akan menjadi lebih besar seperti tsunami, lebih-lebih lagi jika kita bersikap endah tak endah. Saya mohon kepada seluruh rakyat Malaysia, sila ambil serius perintah kawalan pergerakan ini. "[[Perintah duduk di rumah|Duduk di rumah]]""
