KUALA LUMPUR (March 17): Inspector General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador has appealed to all Malaysians who need to travel between states or districts to inform the police and obtain a permit to do so.

At a press conference today, Abdul Hamid said Malaysians may bring the necessary documents to the police station, to show cause as to why they need to travel — such as to visit sick family members or to pick up their underaged children.

“That should suffice,” said Abdul Hamid. “Please inform the authorities to ease your journey.”

Abdul Hamid said the police will in turn provide a document to explain that the document carrier will need to make that journey.

“The process will only take a while. We will make it very simple,” he said.

He added that at this point in time, the police force has not mobilised for check-ups at district or state borders. 

“I am still appealing… we are not undertaking a total clampdown,” he said, adding that the police have been on standby over the past two weeks, especially to respond to the Covid-19 outbreak.

He also urged the public not to take advantage of the leeway and give false information to obtain a permit for other purposes such as for holiday.

Meanwhile, it is within the purview of each state government whether a quarantine process is necessary for inbound visitors.

As for employees working in one state and living in another, Abdul Hamid pointed out that most offices are shut down except for essential services.

“Our role is to control the movement of the public inter-state. This exercise is crucial to stop the outbreak of the virus,” he said. “It is not a lockdown.”

Abdul Hamid also called for public cooperation, adding that there are provisions under the Movement Control Order to stop the public from disobeying the movement restrictions or sharing false information.

PETALING JAYA: Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye has raised concern over students travelling back to their hometowns and spreading the coronavirus to remote areas.

This follows the closure of all public and private universities until March 31 under the movement control order announced yesterday.

Lee, who trained as a cardiologist, said students do not have anywhere else to go other than their hometowns.

“That’s where the risk of infection comes in. By keeping them in hostels, there is also a risk of them spreading it to other students in the hostel but that is easier to contain.

“But now they are on the way in buses and other modes of transport nationwide,” he told FMT.

Due to that, he said shutting down of hostels may not be a good idea as students may risk infecting others.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, in announcing the movement control order on Malaysians to curb the spread of Covid-19, had said that all schools, private and public universities, and colleges will be closed.

Lee said hostels should have been allowed to stay open as it was easier to mitigate the spread of the virus, urging the government to allow students to stay on in their hostels.

He also urged Putrajaya to restrict interaction within communities infected with Covid-19.

He cited the example of an apartment complex where the whole building could be under lockdown until the building is disinfected and the residents only allowed out after they do not show any symptoms of the virus.

He said stringent measures were needed to fight this virus.

Meanwhile, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, in his tweet, urged students not to return home as this may cause the virus to spread.

“I urge everyone to remain calm and stop panic buying too because it is not benefiting anyone,” he said, referring to Malaysians buying groceries in bulk.

This is despite the government’s assurance that supermarkets, grocery shops, convenience stores and markets will remain open during the movement control order.
