The Youth and Sports Ministry has confirmed that hiking is among the sports and recreational activities that will be permitted by the government beginning June 15, provided social distancing and stipulated standard operating procedures (SOPs) are adhered to.
“Mountain climbing is allowed from June 15,” was the brief reply by the ministry in answering questions by netizens on its official Facebook page.
Previously, most climbers were confused as to whether hiking was allowed under the rest and recreation category.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced that several sports and recreational activities would be allowed under the recovery movement control order (MCO) beginning tomorrow, with strict compliance to the government’s SOP.

Will the SOP be ready well ahead of June 15? Climbers have to prepare before hand. Surely, they would not like to be caught with their pants down.
