Despite it feeling comparatively normal and pre-Covid on the roads now under the current conditional movement control order (CMCO), two main barriers are still in place – our country’s borders are still closed and interstate travel is still not allowed.
As the CMCO will be in place till June 9, interstate balik kampung for this year’s Hari Raya is not allowed, and besides setting up roadblocks, the police has formed a special task force to identify individuals travelling interstate.
IGP Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said yesterday that the task force, which the army is also a part of, had been tasked to carry out monitoring in residential areas and villages across the country to weed out travellers without permission, and balik kampung for Raya is not strong enough grounds to obtain the golden letter.
So yes, the cops and soldiers will be “on the hunt” in the kampungs, and one thing they will look for are houses with many cars parked outside. According to Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Noor Azam Jamaludin, the teams will check the number plates of parked vehicles with their own database, The Star reports.
“We will cross-check the registration numbers with our list and see whether the vehicles and its owners are permitted for interstate travel. If we discover that there are those who flouted the ban on interstate travel, we will detain the vehicle owner, which is usually the head of family,” he said yesterday.
“Action will be taken under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and Police Act 1967. No more warning or advice, we will detain those who flout the CMCO by travelling interstate without permission,” he said, commenting on the IGP’s earlier announcement.
Bear in mind that the police and authorities already have the list of approved interstate travellers and their number plates (plus origin and destination) in their system, since you have to apply via app or manually at police stations before travelling.
With this list, a simple input of a parked car’s number plate will ascertain if you’re authorised to be where you’re spotted, or not. Your car’s number plate origins or your IC number isn’t even needed – if you don’t have the permission to be in say, Penang, but your car is seen in Bukit Mertajam, the cops can move. These days, number plates are free for all and are no longer exclusive to registrations in the state – one can have a new car with an R, J or P plate registered in KL, for instance – so the ‘list’ PDRM is talking about is the permission to travel interstate list.
Of course, the police’s first line of defence (sounds strange, when they’re protecting us actually) are the roadblocks, where those without travel approval will be asked to turn back. The police also have the power to issue compounds to unauthorised travellers.

Abang abang polis and askar have been working very hard these few months. The govt should give them big bonus for their job rendered.
Under hujan, panas terik, sejuk, etc still work and upheld responsibilities.

Many Dato Dato own many premium Germans and Japanese cars at home. Kena also?
Won’t kena because polis “will look for are houses with many cars parked outside.”
For goat sake, we balik kampung Raya only.
No problem for the majority already in kampung. Its those minorities trying to go back their villages which are testing the patience and goodwill of our brave frontliner abang-abangs and kakak-kakaks.
Dredd fully support the frontliners.
Copy paste: “Too many Ah Beng VVIPs, time to clamp down onto them and be strict on CMCO. Abang-abang polis & tentera, please don’t give them face and just put the hammer of justice down onto them. Don’t allow them to balik their villages. Send them all to jail, fine them kaw-kaw, and confiscate then re-sell their cars. They deserve it.”
Police and Army so free, please use the resources to find Pastor Koh and the poor Indian lady’s daughter abducted by her wicked ex-husband instead
Please let them rest in peace. No need to dig up the dead.
Resurrecting the dead is a Pakatan specialty as you can see from their zombied supporters and troopers. In USA, they have the right way to deal with zombies.
so free, become police state now. oh wait i forgot, you ppl like to be part of this anyway.
As UN have said, this is the new norm now. Look at countries expounding democracy, now their cases are higher than Ground Zero. Lucky for them this isn’t a zombie pandemic.
New norm? Government offices now works like theres no Covid, no more work from home everything went back to normal, what new norm? Its normal now no new

Main picture does not tell me this is the “old normal”. So what is “normal” for you?
go check lhdn office. mana ada measures taken to protect citizens.
Thank got abang- abang car plates use their own state no plate. Is it still relevant now since JPJ system can buy whatever state plate online. How about G1M, Harimau,Patriot,SUKOM, OIC plate then?
..and then there’s kereta sambung bayar… in the system sure address so far away…
why catch the head of the house only? catch the entire family and fine each of them RM1K. if cannot pay up, go to jail and declare bankrupt after auctioning their car and house.
What I thought everything went back to normal already? Government offices now work in full force 100% attendance and no more WFH, why cannot balik kampung
Because interstate travel ban is still active. Keep yourself informed mate.
Datuk and nenek at kampung surely merajuk, merungut, sedih, pilu hati, etc. Maybe hiding while crying too…..becoz anak anak di bandar cannot balik kampung halaman during Syawal. Surely missed hugging cucu cucu.
What to do? We must fight COVID19 till the end. Be safe. ya.
Luckily I have a PROTON plate number, and a SUKOM one too. If there ever was a dumb plan, this one must be it.
Khani bodoh la ….mcm2 sop tak tentu psl
