Your dash back to kampung will be dashed, drivers warned

Here’s your ticket: A police officer handing over a summons to a motorist along the highway. — SAMUEL ONG/The Star

PETALING JAYA: The police have set up 149 roadblocks on major routes along state borders across Peninsular Malaysia and stepped up the surveillance of “lorong tikus” or alternative routes to prevent Malaysians from balik kampung to celebrate Hari Raya.

Police have said that there would be no escape for anyone who thinks they have a way to bypass the major roadblocks manned by the police and army.
