In the capital Kuala Lumpur, customers queued for temperature checks at malls while shop staff added the finishing touches to window displays. "Thank God the government decided to ease movement control order restrictions, so we can go out and get our hair cut and become handsome again," joked Abdul Rahman Mohamed after his trim. "We're happy that the whole family can go out but at the same time, worried because of the easing of the movement control order, so a lot of people are out," he said.
