SUBANG JAYA:
Police will update their interstate application system to prevent the falsification of documents, Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah said.

He said police had detected several cases of fake interstate travel documents since the implementation of movement control order (MCO).

“Police will find ways to improve the system and put a stop to these tactics,” he said after joining senior minister for security Ismail Sabri Yaakob to visit roadblock personnel at the USJ Subang toll plaza here last night.

Acryl Sani said police had also rejected 2,730 applications for interstate travel because of frivolous excuses.

Ismail, who had also visited the roadblock set up at the Eco Majestic toll plaza, said he found there were not many cars on Aidilfitri night as expected.

“So, I believe all are at home and adhering to (instructions) in not crossing states and districts,” he said.
