The Movement Control Order (MCO) that started in March 2020 has impacted the livelihood of many Malaysians, including those who rely on their motorcycles for work and income. With the country in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) phase now, Malaysians are gradually headed back to a normal life, or rather, a ‘new normal’ life. As part of its contribution to help Malaysians ease back into the swing of things, especially the bikers and bike mechanics, Shell has initiated the #OutrideAnything campaign.
