    KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador (pix) today confirmed six police personnel have tested positive for Covid-19 while their 335 family members are waiting for test results.

    He said the cases highlighted the risks the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel had to face in carrying out their duties while the country was facing Covid-19 outbreak.

    “To date, six of my men have tested positive for Covid-19 … (and) we continue to give the rest of them encouragement and motivation to carry out their jobs,” he said in an exclusive interview, aired on Astro Awani today.

    In another development, Abdul Hamid said as the Movement Control Order (MCO) enters its fourth day today, people are beginning to adhere to the directive by restricting their movement.

    He said police continued to advise those a few who were still doing outdoor activities.

    “We are not giving up as we are still at a stage where we want to create awareness and we use various tactics and technics for the purpose,” he said.

    Police had launched Op Covid-19 on March 18 by conducting hundreds of roadblocks among others to ensure people observe the MCO announced by the government to break the chain of Covid-19 infection. — Bernama

    MCO: Cops deny military will resort to physical punishment 2

    PETALING JAYA: Police have denied rumours that the Malaysian Armed Forces will resort to physical punishment against those not obeying the Movement Control Order (MCO).

    A police source when contacted by theSun, said that there is no truth to a recorded voice message circulating on WhatsApp, that the military will hit those who are out.

    “It is not true … individuals who spread such news will be tracked down and actions will be taken against them.” the source said.

    Ever since it was reported that the military will be stepping in to help the police in implementing the MCO, several videos and pictures were circulated on social media showing armed personnel from other countries such as China, and Iran correcting their citizens who do not adhere to their respective lockdown measures.

    The videos and photos also had captions warning that Malaysians would suffer the same fate if they fail to obey the MCO.

    Earlier in the day, there was a voice message making its rounds, where a man claiming to be Malaysian Armed force personnel saying that officers will be given a baton to hit people who do not obey the MCO.

    LUMUT: About 190 crew members, including 12 Royal Malaysian Navy officers, aboard the KD Mahawangsa frigate have been quarantined after one of them was suspected to have been infected with Covid-19.

    The Western Fleet Command Headquarters said in a statement today that the crew member was believed to have been infected after his wife came into close contact with a suspected Covid-19 individual.

    “All crew members have been quarantined aboard KD Mahawangsa, while their family members classified as Persons Under Investigation (PUI) have been placed under home quarantine,” it said.

    The statement added that similar action was taken when 150 crew members aboard KD Lekiu returned after escorting a Petronas Floating Liquefied Natural Gas 2 tanker from South Korea on March 4. All of them tested negative for the virus.

    RMN continues to carry out its tasks and responsibilities as usual and is not affected by the virus outbreak while any official decision regarding infected crew members will only be issued by the National Security Council and the Health Ministry. — Bernama

    KOTA KINABALU: In a bid to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the Sabah government has issued several new restrictions today including a 14-day quarantine at the nearest quarantine centres for all individuals arriving from abroad.

    “In addition, the inter-district public jetties will be closed to the public.

    He said the state government had also ordered all districts to impose roadblocks with immediate effect.

    Perlis Regent tells people to abide by MCO 5

    KANGAR: Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail (pix) has decreed that the people in Perlis strictly abide by the movement control order (MCO) because a failure to do so may cause the order to be further extended.

    “We should only leave our homes with valid reasons,“ he said in reference to the MCO which was adopted to help the country reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

    In a statement, Tuanku Faizuddin said the people should unhesitatingly adhere to the MCO until it expires.

    “We need to be responsible and committed with a first-class mentality in our actions to stick by the government’s directive.”

    The Regent urged his subjects not to be stubborn or lackadaisical because it will impact society, the state and country in a negative light.

    “We do not want the MCO to be extended in view that the cases may rise even more.”

    His royal message was aired by the state religious affairs council here on Saturday.

    Perlis has recorded nine Covid-19 cases so far.

    Tuanku Faizuddin, who is the president of the state religious affairs council, said that people should only exit their houses if they need to purchase food, groceries, and for healthcare needs.

    They should not leave the state unless they possess valid reasons.

    Tuanku Faizuddin noted with dismay that after three days of enforcing the MCO, there are still a number of people who are disobeying the directive, thus forcing the army to be called in.

    “I hope everyone understands the need to strictly abide by the order so we can reduce the pandemic impact as soon as possible. But if we stray, we are only inviting a possible curfew to be implemented. We still have choices.”

    Meanwhile, the council’s chief executive officer Mohd Nazim Mohd Noor said that all mosque and surau activities have been deferred until the MCO is lifted.
