Police to shift some roadblock locations nationwide

Some roadblock locations nationwide will be moved to more strategic positions, said Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador.

He said, this is due to the conditional movement control order (MCO) which was announced by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today.

“Some of these roadblocks will be moved to more strategic locations, including to check the entry of illegal immigrants,” he said to Bernama briefly.

Hamid said more monitoring teams would be formed to ensure public compliance with social distancing.

Prior to this, Muhyiddin, in a special message in conjunction with Workers’ Day today, said a big part of the economic and social activities would be allowed from Monday (May 4).

However, he said they were subjected to the conditions and standard operating procedures that had been set.

Among others, he said restaurants are allowed to operate by observing the business SOP.

Outdoor sports activities such as playing badminton or tennis outside without an audience, jogging, cycling, golf and running comprising not more than 10 persons are allowed on condition that social distancing is practised, he added.
