Confusion over the ever-changing SOPs for the Movement Control Order (MCO) till March 4th is still a problem, with the latest string of questions from the public being over what is meant by ‘inter-district lines’.
This, after the government lifted the 10km-radius travel limit last week, as new daily COVID-19 cases seemingly began to drop, but many Malaysians have still been complaining about having to go through roadblocks, with some even being issued compounds, although they were thought to be travelling within the “same district”.
So allow us to clarify what the National Security Council (NSC) means by ‘inter-district’, according to its latest SOPs… Well, sort of.
It seems district lines are set by state authorities, and not the police.
Also, the whole of Kuala Lumpur is considered one district.
But in spite of the updated
newsletter, there still appears confusion among the public.
Over the weekend, Facebook user, Zanirun Baba claimed his daughter was issued a compound notice, purportedly for crossing districts when she drove from Subang Jaya to Shah Alam despite both areas being under the Petaling district.
But when he went to the NSC to check if the fine was legitimate, it seemed the authorities weren't sure about the SOPs either.
