“As we have previously mentioned, for private vehicles, although they are allowed to go out to get food and essential supplies, the government has decided it will be one person in one car,” he said during the daily non-health press conference that was broadcasted on television. Ismail Sabri said 1,520 roadblocks held by police at locations throughout the country checked a total of 257,287 vehicles that were on the road, adding that 828 arrests have been made by police nationwide against those defying the MCO.
“Our target is not to add on to the arrests, our target is to reduce the arrests; the more arrests there are each day mans there are many from the rakyat who are still not following the instructions,” he said.
