Rapid KL reminds train, bus passengers to bring along employer letter if crossing borders – cops checking

It looks like the moves to restrict movement have tightened of late. KL, JB and most of Selangor are going through another round of the movement control order (MCO), crossing of state and district borders now require police permission nationwide, and many of Klang Valley’s largest and most popular malls have been ordered to close for three days under HIDE.

The roadblocks are back too, none more visible than the one on the Federal Highway. The congestion may be a problem if one has to legitimately travel to work – the ministry of international trade and industry (MITI) has confirmed that workers need not have police permits to travel to work; only their work permit or working pass along with the approval letter from MITI will do.

Thinking of using the trains to bypass the congestion below? Remember to bring along the approval letters mentioned above, Rapid KL reminds train and bus passengers. This of course applies only to those who are crossing state or district borders in public transport.

The home ministry has ordered agencies under its purview to step up SOP compliance enforcement. KDN’s May 8 statement ordered the police to not just set up roadblocks, but to stop individuals from taking advantage of public transport to cross state and district borders, specifically mentioning the KTM Komuter, LRT, MRT, ERL and KL Monorail. E-hailing services, too.

With the checking of papers in trains now in operation, make sure you have all necessary approvals when zooming pass the traffic below. By the way, all train stations flagged by HIDE (KLCC, Masjid Jamek, KL Sentral) will continue to operate, but business outlets in the stations will be closed till May 11.

      Mereka yang mengecam dan mengkritik akan terus mengecam dan mengkritik walau apa sahaja yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan. Nyawa rakyat itu lebih penting dari memuaskan hati mereka.

      Biarkan mereka yang mencari nombor terus mencari nombor, biarkan “pakar-pakar” terus bersyarah di dalam TikTok dan biarkan “haters” terus dengan pelbagai hashtag. Kerajaan perlu lakukan yang betul dan bukan yang popular.

      • Ramai lagi yang memalsukan surat rentas negeri semata-mata untuk balik beraya bersama covid. Tidak sangka ada banyak cubaan perantau2 yang keras kepala dan penting sendri untuk menyambut RayaPKP di kampung halaman meskipun tahu larangan rentas negeri dan daerah ketika ini.

        Memang kita harus sokong apa saja yg dilakukan oleh kerajaan walaupun tak dapat dibuat dgn ‘do it right the 1st time’ dan menghormati pendapat pakar2 sebenar dlm kerajaan yg keadaan masih terkawal, tak kira apa angka yg dipaparkan dlm statistik harian.

        Not only at paultan.org but also at other portals that have comment sections, there will always be at least one who can’t accept criticism. If such an individual is unable to totally accept the presence of somebody else’s comment here, please do complain to the people who run this portal.
