KUALA LUMPUR:Individuals who are self-employed can apply for police permit for movements out of district or state under Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the approval letter would facilitate movements and dealings of such individuals at roadblocks.
“So one should go to a police station to obtain the movement approval permit. I understand they do not have employers, so there is nobody to confirm the companies they are working with. My advice is to go to a police station. This is the easiest approach,” he told a media conference on the development of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) here today.
Ismail Sabri was commenting on a report involving a hawker who was issued a RM1,000 compound at a roadblock for not having a letter to work from his employer.
Ismail Sabri said 293 roadblocks were conducted yesterday.
He said 553 individuals were held for defying the Movement Control Order with 532 issued compounds and 21 remanded yesterday.
Among the offences of violating MCO included not wearing face mask (153), failure to provide customer recording facilities (165) , physical distancing (87), premises operating beyond permitted hours (37), activities at entertainment centre( 18) and others (93), he said.
He also said that 46 foreigners were also detained and five cars were seized yesterday in Op Benteng to control the country’s border from intrusion by illegal immigrants apart from containing the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said from July 24 to yesterday, 57,396 individuals have returned home via international gateways.
"From, the total, 9,221 individuals are undergoing compulsory quarantine at 63 hotels and 17 premises including public training institutes and private institutions in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Johor, Sarawak, Kelantan, Perak, Kedah, Perlis, Terengganu, Sabah and Labuan," he said.
Meanwhile, he urged the people to contact the National Task Force hotline at 011 6251 1223 to provide information on illegal immigrants and cross-border criminals.
“The people can assist the authorities in reducing the number of foreigners entering the country illegally.
“Regardless of their locations, we can still assist the authorities to nab them,” he said.
In this regard, he said the CMCO at Kampung Padang Che Mas, Baling, Kedah which began on Oct 18 would end on Oct 31 according to schedule as there were no additional cases of COVID-19 announced by the Ministry of Health.
