PETALING JAYA: Police have denied that all roads leading in and out of the district have been closed.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the message that roads out of the district through Damansara, Ara Damansara, Subang, Sg Buloh, Kota Damansara & NPE were closed, were not true.
"The screen grab that have been shared online neglect to reflect the captions that mentioned all of it were roadblocks and not road closures.
"We have set up roadblocks at three main locations in the district since the start of the conditional movement control order (MCO) on Oct 14.
"The locations are at Subang toll plaza, Sungai Buloh toll plaza and Damansara toll plaza," he said in a statement today.
While the number of positive Covid-19 cases have not shown a declined, Petaling Jaya police have deployed personnel to monitor the compliance to the conditional MCO in the district, he added.
"Stern action will be taken against those who do not adhere to standard operating procedures (SOPs).
"We are also thankful for road users who patiently go through the roadblocks that been set up.
"We hope road users will also slow down their vehicles when approaching roadblocks," ACP Nik Ezanee said.
