Take Note: Stricter Rules Start On April 1st, Police Will Take Serious Actions Against Offenders

According to initial plans, today was supposed to be our last day under the Movement Control Order. However, as we’re all well aware, the second phase of the MCO begins tomorrow and is said to end on the 14th of April.

Police not here to play-play and will enforce rules more strictly

There’s going to be some differences that we’ll face in the second wave as told by our Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. For starters, he said that stricter rules will be enforced beginning April 1st.

800+ people arrested at roadblocks till date

The Star reported that the minister informed, so far there have been 828 people who were arrested on Sunday at roadblocks and during police patrols.

“The number of people arrested for breaking the MCO is increasing, and this is because the police are now taking more serious action,” Ismail Sabri said at a press conference yesterday.

“A total of 67,774 police, army, Rela and Malaysian Civil Defence Force officers have been deployed so far.We have more officers in reserve, and we will increase the number from time to time if deemed necessary.”

 

New things people need to take note of starting 1st April

1. Only one person is allowed to travel in each car
2. Supermarkets, restaurants & food deliveries will only open 8am-8pm.
3. Contactless deliveries are encouraged for deliveries where the food is placed outside the house and collected without any contact with the deliverer.

We hope that with these additional restrictions, Malaysians will take the MCO more seriously and just STAY HOME!
