Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said so far only two localities in Kuala Lumpur have been placed under EMCO starting yesterday namely Kampung Batu Muda Tambahan and the Kampung Limau People’s Housing Project, in Pantai Dalam.

Police personnel are assisting the health ministry and welfare department to distribute dry food items and conduct inspections at the two localities, Azmi told a media conference at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters here today.

On the preparations for the implementation of stricter rules under MCO 3.0 tomorrow, he said police would beef up inspections at the existing roadblocks (SJR).

“Police will maintain the existing 13 SJRs in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya but will conduct thorough inspections such as checking the interstate travel forms, letters from employers and so on in detail, to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak,” he said.

On May 22, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced the decision of the National Security Council Covid-19 management meeting to implement stricter protocols under MCO 3.0 with more restrictions on some economic sectors and social activities.
