KLANG folk living in housing estates placed under the conditional movement-control order (CMCO) beginning today must obtain a police permit to leave the area for work or other important matters.

Selangor police chief Noor Azam Jamaludin said the form can be downloaded from the official Facebook page of the South Klang district police.

Roadblocks have been mounted in Bayu Perdana, Sri Andalas and Bukit Tinggi in the Klang sub-district.

“To facilitate the public, a mobile police station has been set up in the areas to provide assistance with the permits and to avoid overcrowding at the nearby police station. Those travelling for work, must produce a letter issued by their employer.

“We will look into every application whether it is under essential services or not, before granting an approval,” he said after a visit to the affected areas last night.

Also present was South Klang district police chief Shamsul Amar Ramli.

Noor Azam urged locals to give their full cooperation to the authorities to fight the spread of Covid-19.

Two days ago, senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced the government’s move to impose CMCO in the red zone areas, namely Sandakan, Papar, Tuaran in Sabah and Klang in Selangor, following spike in COVID-19 cases in the areas. – Bernama, October 9, 2020.
