In a statement, National Security Council (MKN) director-general Rodzi Md Saad said the areas are Pos Sinderut as well as the Orang Asli villages in Pos Lenjang and Pos Titom – all of which are in Lipis.

This is the second time that the EMCO at Pos Sinderut has been extended. It was first placed under EMCO on Sept 12.

The EMCOs were originally slated to end tomorrow.

In addition, two Orang Asli villages in Temerloh, Pahang, will see their lockdowns end today. They are Kampung Pasu and Kampung Penderas.
