KUALA LUMPUR (May 10): The PJ Old Town market along Jalan Othman and the surrounding areas in Petaling Jaya, Selangor has been placed under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO), whereby residents are now prohibited from leaving the area while non-residents and visitors are not allowed to enter. 

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in a statement today that the EMCO was enforced after the Health Ministry (MoH) found 26 positive COVID-19 cases in the area.

“The EMCO affects about 2,900 residents of houses and business premises in the area. The order is effective from May 10 (today) until May 23, 2020,” he said.

“This EMCO is imposed to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 infection out of this area. This step will enable house-to-house case detection to be conducted throughout the enforcement period,” said Ismail Sabri.Residents in the area are requested to remain calm, he said, and to fully cooperate with MoH staff and to comply with instructions from the authorities.

Residents who need assistance or have any questions can call the Petaling Jaya CPP Room at 016-980 9389, or the Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters at 03-7966 2222, the statement added.

    I thought the threshold was 40 or something like that. Are they lowering the goalposts? If they can start doing that, nobody and no area is safe. Is this an excuse for door to door searches without a warrant?
