SUBANG JAYA, Malaysia (July 2): The government will conduct a nationwide data study on Covid-19 instances in order to explore relaxing the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Phase 1 movement restriction under the National Recovery Plan (PPN) in a few states that will be chosen later.
Before the subject is disclosed, Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said it will be discussed with Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob through the National Security Council Technical Committee.
“It’s likely to be announced tomorrow… based on the information we have, which states can be proposed for flexibility.”
“The typical national cases that arrived from Selangor caused the people to feel overwhelmed by the challenges,” he stated at a press conference after directing a large-scale operation under “Ops Patuh” today.
Meanwhile, Hamzah stated that as part of the large-scale compliance operation, Royal Malaysia Police assets including as drones and helicopters will be deployed in specific regions to check that the SOPs are followed.
“Today, we see the operation being carried out in a coordinated fashion; it may be different in other regions, but the focus is on Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.” Furthermore, detailed information about the operation will be received tonight, and I will make an announcement tomorrow,” he added.
Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim, Deputy Inspector-General of Police (IGP), and Datuk Mastor Mohd Arif, deputy director (special operations force) of the Internal Security and Public Order Department, were also present.
During the operation, a steel structure fabrication facility was raided after it was discovered to have broken the SOPs for operating, despite the fact that it was not allowed to operate in the manufacturing sector./n
