BUKIT MERTAJAM – Residents, business owners and workers who fled Taman Nagasari here, which is placed under the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) starting midnight tonight, have been told to return home immediately.
Seberang Prai City Council (MBSP) Mayor Datuk Rozali Mohamud said they are believed to have fled the area after the announcement of the EMCO, which will be enforced until July 17.
“Fleeing the location to stay elsewhere, especially when the authorities are actively preparing to implement the EMCO, is an irresponsible act.
“They are warned to return to their respective homes so that the Health Ministry (MoH) can conduct community screening quickly,” he said in a statement last night, adding the MBSP has detailed records on those who fled, enabling the authorities to track them down in integrated operations with the police, the armed forced as well as the MoH.
There are a total of 940 units in Taman Nagasari, of which 244 units are for industrial use, 66 for commercial activities, 295 units of terrace houses and 335 units of flats.
Meanwhile, Bukit Tengah State assemblyman Gooi Hsiao Leung said in a statement last night the district health office will conduct large-scale Covid-19 screenings on its residents from today, adding he will ensure that the people receive the necessary assistance. – Bernama, July 4, 2021
