The number of vehicles inspected by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) showed a decline to 267,373 as of Tuesday compared with 283,677 vehicles the previous day.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the inspections were the result of 138 cross-border roadblocks conducted throughout the country.

"A total of 93 vehicles were ordered to turn around for cross-border attempts without authorization.

"Among the states that recorded the highest cross-border attempts were Pahang with 38 cases; Malacca (27 cases); and Selangor (24 cases)," he said in a daily press conference here today.

In a similar development, Ismail Sabri said the PDRM-led Compliance Operations Task Force had conducted 76,348 inspections to monitor and enforce compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOP) of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).

In addition, he added that the PDRM also detained 56 individuals for violating the CMCO directives.

Of these, 46 individuals were remanded while another 10 were released on police bail.

"The PDRM also issued compounds to 88 individuals for various offences under the CMCO.

"No compound was issued for the Aidilfitri visiting. Therefore, I am again reminding the people to abide by the SOP and the rules," he said.

Meanwhile, the government through the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) continued with the sanitation and disinfection process throughout the country to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Ismail Sabri, as of Tuesday, 7,469 sanitation operations covering 132 zones had been carried out.


"A total of 10,996 premises were sanitized which included 2,643 business centres, 4,088 government buildings, 1,581 residential areas including PPR, 2,332 public places and 352 supermarkets.

"Yesterday there were 43 sanitization operations covering 37 zones in 12 states including Sabah (11 operations); Johor (eight operations); and Melaka (four operations)," he said.
