Yup, it’s official, the nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) has been extended yet again, set to end this time around on April 28.

And naturally, in times of stress and anxiety such as this, Malaysians are turning to the tried and true medium of expressing themselves through the use of some hilarious internet memes.
