DALAT: Longhouse folk in Dalat District here are advised to continue to comply with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) under the recovery movement control order (RMCO) which was announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday (Jan 11), said Dalat district police chief DSP Saga Chunggat.
