Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director DCP Datuk Azisman Alias said it has since been clarified to police personnel manning roadblocks throughout the country that members of the press, especially those bearing authorisation letters from their respective companies, can pass through roadblocks without any problems.
On Wednesday, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was informed by media practitioners during a press conference that some of them were told by officers manning roadblocks that their company letters were deemed not valid, while heading out to cover field assignments. The minister promised to raise the issue with the police.
