COMPLIANCE in Petaling Jaya’s Jalan Othman Market area under an enhanced movement control order (EMCO) is at 99% following cooperation from residents. 

Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the more than-2,600 residents were disciplined and did not create any problems or commit any crimes.

He said police only received complaints regarding food aid and applications to go out for emergency cases, such as doctor’s appointment or dialysis treatment.

“The residents did not cause any problems. There was sufficient food supply and Covid-19 screenings were completed in the last two days.

“Food was contributed by the Welfare Department, civil society and community representatives, aided by the army and Rela personnel,” he said today, adding that the police was waiting for the order to end the EMCO.

Checks over the past two days found that there were not many visitors at Jalan Othman Market and its surrounding areas. 

On Sunday, Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced that the area would be placed under EMCO until May 23, following 26 Covid-19 positive cases detected in the area. – Bernama, May 17, 2020.
