Those who fail to produce their letters of approval from a police station or do not have valid reasons to enter Kelantan would be ordered to turn back including travellers who arrived at the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport.
Kelantan police chief DCP Shafien Mamat said this was to prevent the spread of Covid-19 into the state. “On this matter, do not try to make fake excuses for interstate travel as the attempts would only inconvenience others,” he told reporters at the Kelantan Information Department Strategic Networking Session in Kota Bharu last night.
Starting today, the conditional movement control order (CMCO) will be enforced in all states in Peninsular Malaysia except Perlis, Pahang, and Kelantan until Dec 6.
On the setting up of roadblocks, Shafien said the police and Health Ministry will focus on four locations in the state - two in Pasir Puteh, one in Jeli, and one in Gua Musang.
He said inspections will be carried out and the public will be asked to produce letters issues by police stations to approve their travel. Swab tests will also be carried out, he added.
"Starting from midnight, the various states would also be conducting roadblocks for 24 hours. We are confident the people understand the standard operating procedures on Covid-19.
“Police have also sought the assistance of the Malaysian Armed Forces to assist police officers at each roadblock,” he said.
