M’sians Stuck In Hometowns Can Apply To Travel Interstate With The ‘Gerak Malaysia’ App

Malaysians who are interested in travelling interstate are advised to apply for their travel permits through the Gerak Malaysia app starting today (26 April) until 29 April.

The app was specifically developed so that travel permits can be applied easily from Malaysians at home which is now available on the Google App Store, Apple App Store and Huawei App Gallery.

When a user is done with the application process with all the necessary details given, the app will generate a unique QR code which will be scanned at any roadblocks between 1 May and 3 May. Bukit Aman Criminal Investigations Department director Datuk Huzir Mohamed explained, as reported by NST,

“Applications submitted through the Gerak Malaysia app will assist the police in determining the number of travellers on the move, and for us to prepare a travel schedule to ensure everything runs smoothly. Those who have applied must update their applications on the day they are allowed to travel so that a QR code will be generated automatically.”
