FMCO: Police remind public of two-to-a-car rule – three allowed for reasons of medical care and emergencies

Into the second day of the nationwide lockdown from June 1 to 14, the police has reminded the public – via an infographic – of the vehicle capacity restrictions that are in place during the full movement control order (FMCO) period, where only two people per household will be allowed to go out in a car to buy food, medicine and essentials.

An allowance will be given for a maximum of three people to travel in a vehicle for the purpose of seeking medical care or emergency medical services, including the person needing that medical attention, within a 10 km radius from the point of residence.

The travel for essentials is also restricted to a 10 km radius from the location of one’s residence, the movement limit similar to that implemented in the first MCO last year. For taxis and ride-hailing services, the number of people in a car is also limited to two, including the driver, and the passenger must sit in the rear, so do remember to observe the necessary.

Those travelling to work will of course need proper documentation and authorisation letters in case they are asked to show proof to authorities, and as it was last year, those who need to drive out to purchase essentials during the FMCO would do well to keep a copy of an utility bill as proof of current residence and to establish compliance.

    • Are you serious?! They stay or go is not by their choice, once discharged they are required to leave as to make way for others incoming. There is no way for them to stay around after quarantine period is over. If you want to make stories make it a believable one.

Sendiri pengsan, resah, bimbang, sedih tu tau je pikir negative apesal tak pikir kita dok abad 21 dah ada online, food delivery… org lain bleh nape ko xbleh. Org lain bleh jaga diri nape ko xbleh. Pikir pikir kan. #KitaJagaKita

    hi Anthony. any idea about bringing dependant (old folks) to get vaccinated? next week I had to bring my mother for AZ vaccine appointment at Persada jb. but I’m thinking of taking grab (it will be 3 persons including the driver) coz hard to find parking there due to thousands of people coming on that day to get vaccinated. tks

      Based on all available info, the JKJAV has stated that people can travel for vaccinations, and only need to show the appointment to authorities as verification if there is a roadblock, so that shouldn’t be a concern. Likewise, bringing a dependent to make it three in a vehicle.

      The Grab angle, as per your example, is something new. I would think that the cops should be able to give leeway for this, but the best thing you can do is check with the local balai as to whether it is possible.

      Alternatively, you might do well to try this – two Grab vehicles, but at the same time and following each other (in case there is a roadblock and verification is needed; you’ll only have the documentation on your phone). There is also getting a family member to drive you and your mum to the vax location, but note that there is a 10km limit ruling in place. Hope this helps, and good luck.

    • Safest way is to apply police permit to travel and while there you can make your enquiry pertaining to 3 person in a Grab car.

        Apply police permit to travel??
        Police will then ask you to go to Pejabat kesihatan daerah > pejabat kesihatan negeri > KKM > MKN > Balai polis daerah > KPN negeri > …. (btw govt servants are working from home)

        • Don’t lie here. I myself went to nearest polis station, showed them my parents vaccination appointment in Mysejahtera and submit the details who will travel with them (me). Prepared photocopy of IC just in case. No issues.
