PUTRAJAYA, June 9 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will focus on compliance with standard operating procedures (SOP) at business premises and public areas in line with the enforcement of the recovery movement control order (RMCO) which begins tomorrow.

Senior Minister (security cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said at the same time (tomorrow) the PDRM would also withdraw all interstate roadblocks.

“The PDRM will focus on compliance with SOPs at business premises and public areas through the RMCO Special Monitoring Task Force involving the Malaysian Armed Forces, the Malaysian Volunteer Corps Department (Rela) and the Civil Defence Force.

“Today is the last day of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) and the PDRM will put in place a new action plan under the RMCO which will start tomorrow until August 31,” he said at a press conference here today.
