Move to curb interstate travel


JEMPOL: Interstate travel approval letters issued by the International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) for business and work purposes have been disallowed for four days from July 18-21 as people were found to have abused them to return to their hometowns for Hari Raya Aidiladha.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said a similar situation occurred during Hari Raya Aidilfitri in May, which then triggered 36 Covid-19 clusters.
