THE three-day grace period that police gave for people to travel home across states and districts ended on Friday and from now on, “lame excuses” will no longer be tolerated at the roadblocks.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong said Penangites were given three days to adjust to the new movement control order and from now on, every car would be checked at roadblocks.
