It will issue a warning if the level of compliance is not satisfactory,\u201d he said at a press conference on the CMCO here today.<\/p>\n<p>The government had, on May 1,\u00a0announced that under the CMCO, almost all economic and social sectors would be allowed to operate beginning May 4.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the Inspector-General of Police had also set up a CMCO Compliance Team at the district level, comprising PDRM, MAF, Rela, APM and local authorities (PBT).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 mt-4 px-sm-0 px-md-5 px-lg-15 text-dark text-justify\">\n<p>\u201cIf any individual or industry\u00a0sector still do not comply with the order after being advised and issued with a warning, then the team will take action in accordance with provisions under\u00a0the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the matter of interstate travel by public transport, Ismail Sabri said police were still conducting a study on the number of vehicles that would be used from May 7 to May 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInterstate movement is still not allowed. That\u2019s why\u00a0vehicles like express buses are still not on the road. I believe the police will study in detail how to solve issues regarding those allowed to return home by public transport from May 7 to May 10,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 mt-4 px-sm-0 px-md-5 px-lg-15 text-dark text-justify\">\n<p>He also disclosed that\u00a0several areas in Selayang and Chow Kit had yet to be placed under the\u00a0Enhanced MCO (EMCO).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not announced EMCO\u2026\u00a0so it means there\u2019s no EMCO. But some places (in two areas in Selayang and Chow Kit), we have tightened security in administrative terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe may have set up barbed wires and such, but we have not declared EMCO yet\u2026\u00a0we have tightened controls at the entry and exit points,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In another development, the Defence Minister said the process of distributing free face masks nationwide would continue, with nearly 80 to 90 percent of areas in Peninsular Malaysia having received them so far.<\/p>\n<p>He said the distribution of face masks in Sabah and Sarawak was bit delayed due to factors like different geographical sizes as the items had to sent by boats to certain areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0BERNAMA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUTRAJAYA, May 5 &#8211; The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have formed a Compliance Operation Task&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7574],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-covid19"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",1110,694,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec-300x188.jpg",300,188,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec-768x480.jpg",640,400,true],"large":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec-1024x640.jpg",640,400,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",1110,694,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",1110,694,false],"newsium-slider-full":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",1110,694,false],"newsium-featured":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",1024,640,false],"newsium-medium":["https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/a143c556493886b547a34aeb890366eb5eb1516213cec.jpg",720,450,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Editor"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/?cat=7574\" rel=\"category\">COVID19<\/a>","tag_info":"COVID19","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3810"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3813,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3810\/revisions\/3813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newmalaysiatimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
