CORONAVIRUS | The task of the Royal Malaysia Police during the recovery movement control order (MCO) period, to be implemented from June 10, will be streamlined in accordance with the directives from the government and National Security Council (NSC).

Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) director Azisman Alias said the police will continue to issue compounds against those who defy the stipulated standard operating procedures during the recovery MCO period.

“JSPT will make adjustments to the directives by the government and NSC from time to time,” he told Bernama today.

He said the placement of policemen at roadblocks and the enforcement on social distancing are still applicable until tomorrow under the conditional MCO.

On the possibility of traffic congestion with the restriction on interstate travel to be lifted from June 10, Azisman said there was no report of unusual traffic jam reported so far.

“So far, there is no unusual traffic congestion reported and traffic flow on most of the expressways is smooth,” he added.

Yesterday, Bernama reported Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador as saying that the police would formulate new tasks following the announcement of the recovery MCO, to be enforced on June 10, to replace conditional MCO, which ends tomorrow.
