‘Military may enforce roadblocks’


PUTRAJAYA: The public can expect sterner action, including the deployment of armed forces personnel to conduct roadblocks and checks if the compliance rate for the movement control order remains low after the “advisory period” is over, said Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said this was to make sure a higher record of the compliance rate was achieved compared to the 60% rate on the first day the order was enforced.
