CORONAVIRUS | The police and armed forces will go on patrols during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations to ensure the conditional movement control order (MCO) standard operating procedures are being followed.
Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob (photo), during his daily press conference in Putrajaya, today said this was to ensure those celebrating Hari Raya adhere to social distancing measures and comply with the ban on interstate travel set by the government.
Interstate travel is disallowed during the order period, except for those who have obtained prior police permission.
“Many people assume that on Hari Raya the police will not monitor their homes. True, not every house will be inspected.
“But I was informed by the (inspector-general of police) that during the festive season, police will patrol all areas. If there they find many cars parked out front, they will investigate to determine how many people are in the house.
“So I remind you, the police and military have agreed to patrol on the first day of Raya and subsequent days,” the senior minister said.
Previously, the government has stated visits during Hari Raya, Hari Gawai and Hari Kaamatan will only be permitted on the first day of the celebrations.
Visits would be limited to just family members and are to be capped at a maximum of 20 people for the entire day. - Mkini
