Malaysian Govt To Allow Nationwide Interstate Travel From Monday - Ismail Sabri

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian government has decided to allow movements across states and districts nationwide without the need for police permit except in areas under Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO). Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the lifting of the restriction would take effect from Monday (Dec 7, 2020). He said the government also agreed that all vehicles are allowed to carry the number of passengers according to their permitted capacity from Monday. “Police will also remove roadblocks from Dec 7 but would focus on compliance with the standard operating procedure (SOP),” he said in a media conference on the development of Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) here Saturday. As such, he said, the government hopes the people would look after their own safety and take the stipulated preventive measures. -- BERNAMA
