PUTRAJAYA – Owners of commercial vehicles are not required to request for an endorsement letter from the Transport Ministry to operate during the movement control order.
In a statement today, the ministry said restrictions will not be placed on commercial vehicles operating during the MCO period, which starts today until January 26.
It said owners of commercial vehicles only needed to produce the verification letter from their employers when requested by enforcement personnel, adding that special lanes will be designated at all roadblocks for them.
For other logistics companies, such as freight forwarders and warehouse operators registered under an association, an endorsement from the ministry could be obtained from their respective associations.
“This letter must be shown together with proof of membership in the association when requested by enforcement personnel at roadblocks,” the statement said.
For companies that are not registered under any association or non-governmental organisation, an endorsement letter can be applied via the ministry’s website.
The ministry also advised public transport users to comply with set standard operating procedures and guidelines as announced by the National Security Council, practise physical distancing and maintain good hygiene to ward off Covid-19. – Bernama, January 13, 2021
