According to Malay Mail, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said PDRM is in the midst of studying the details of the RMCO enforcement measures.
"We reckon the new tasks will be laid out by June 9," he said.
Since the restriction has been lifted, he believed that it would include traffic control as people would return to hometown during the RMCO.
“At the moment, it is clear that under the RMCO, there is no need for roadblocks to be mounted except at Ops Benteng locations. I will discuss this with the Armed Forces chief to get details of a mutual understanding and agreement."
"Maybe surveillance duty will be increased to ensure compliance to the social distancing regulations," he said.
People are reminded to remember that the fight against Covid-19 is still a long way to go.
