Four roadblocks in PJ to remain

PETALING JAYA: A total of four roadblocks will remain manned by Petaling Jaya police following the movement control order imposed in six districts in Selangor from Thursday (May 6) until May 17.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said the existing roadblocks manned by Petaling Jaya police are at the Sungai Buloh toll plaza, Kota Damansara toll plaza, Damansara toll plaza and the Subang toll plaza.

"Maintaining the roadblocks is in line with the instruction from the National Security Council (NSC), prohibiting inter-district and inter-state travels in areas under MCO.

"We will also increase manpower for the compliance operation teams," he said in a statement.

ACP Fakhrudin also advised the public to adhere to Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP).

"We hope for cooperation from all levels of society so that the spread of the virus can be curbed," he added.

Six districts in Selangor - Petaling, Gombak, Hulu Langat, Klang, Sepang, and Kuala Langat - are under a MCO from May 6 to May 17 and Kuala Lumpur will be under a May 7 to May 20.

All inter-district and interstate travel is prohibited during the MCO, while all economic sectors are running as per usual.

This means that Malaysians can travel to their workplaces, with some delay due to roadblocks - a common occurrence during previous MCOs.
