Not EMCO but administrative MCO in Taman Langat Murni

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has confirmed that the government has not implemented the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) in Taman Langat Murni, Kuala Langat.

On the other hand, he said the people in the area were only under the administrative Movement Control Order (MCO).

He explained that any inbound and outbound activity was still allowed in the area except that they have to go through strict procedures.

“For the CMCO, we secure the area with barbed wire and do not allow any movement in and out of the area.

“In the administrative MCO, we also guard the area with barbed wire but in and out movements are still allowed except they have to go through health checks.

"In terms of health screenings such as swab tests, it is the same as it is conducted on all residents within the lockdown area," he said at a press conference here today.

Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri also denied allegations that the government had not announced the administrative MCO in the area, which began last night.

"We did not keep quiet. I already said that there are two types -- the first is the EMCO as we implement at the Selangor Mansion, Selayang Wholesale Market, and so on.

"Secondly, the MCO that is carried out administratively (such as at Taman Langat Murni)," he said.
