KUALA LUMPUR – To prevent the use of fake business approval letters issued by the International Trade and Industry Ministry, the documents are required to have a QR code.
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department (operations) SAC M.V. Srikumar M. Nair said the code will be scanned by officers manning roadblocks during the Covid-19 lockdown.
“When the code is scanned, it will request a number code that only police have. When we enter the number code, we will know whether the information on the letter is authentic to the letter holder,” he said on Bernama TV’s Ruang Bicara programme yesterday.
He refuted claims of double standards in police’s enforcement of the interstate and inter-district travel ban.
“Police do not (have double standards for) certain groups that are privileged.
“If the document is valid and evidence, concrete, interstate or inter-district travel is allowed.” – Bernama, June 1, 2021
