How many times have you left the house to go on a grocery run ever since the Movement Control Order (MCO) started?

Some of you may have done it once a week, some even more, but it seems that this is the first time ever we’re seeing Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin out and about doing his grocery shopping.

Supermarket fully stocked

Over the weekend, Muhyiddin posted a few photos of him apparently getting groceries at one of the supermarkets in Kuala Lumpur.

He was dressed nicely in a batik shirt, wore a mask, had gloves on, and even got himself checked with a digital thermometer prior to entering the supermarket.


The 72-year-old PM said that a lot of Malaysians are practising social distancing based on his observation.

Muhyiddin added that the supermarket was well-stocked and advised Malaysians to not panic when out grocery shopping.



The post garnered over 7,000 shares and comments to date.

Many Malaysians left positive comments for the Prime Minister and some even prayed for his wellbeing throughout this pandemic.

Abah TSMY pls take care of yourself. We love u

So Malaysians, wherever and whenever you plan to go for you grocery run, always remember to practice social distancing, maintain good hygiene, and always carry a hand sanitiser with you.

If the Prime Minister can do it, you can too!
