POLICE will set up roadblocks throughout the country after midnight as a safety measure, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Razarudin Husain said.

He said the move was to ensure the safety and security of the public.

He said mounting roadblocks was a normal monthly routine.

“People need not worry or panic. They should not associate the setting up of roadblocks to the decision of the election results in six states tonight,” he said at a press conference at Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, tonight.

The election results of six states – Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Negri Sembilan – are expected to be announced tonight. – Bernama, August 12, 2023.
