PUTRAJAYA – A total of 1,200 Road Transport Department (RTD) personnel nationwide will be mobilised from today until January 26 to assist the police with the implementation of the movement control order (MCO), conditional MCO, and recovery MCO in the country.
In a statement issued today, RTD said the collaboration between itself and the police will focus on areas that receive higher traffic.
“It will be implemented through three key strategies: patrols on main state roads and expressways, roadblocks that monitor public vehicles, and inspection and monitoring at major bus terminals,” it said.
It said this integrated measure will help curb the spread of Covid-19, which is on the rise due to the public’s non-compliance with prescribed standard operating procedures (SOPs).
It called for cooperation from all Malaysians to comply with SOPs to effectively break the chain of infection. – Bernama, January 16, 2021
