KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 ― Travel permits for those wishing to travel in, out or through designated conditional control movement order (CMCO) areas can now be obtained either at police stations or downloaded from the police’s official Facebook page.

“Forms that have been approved, signed and stamped will allow one to pass through roadblocks that have been set up,” he said.
Ismail also took the time to remind those that have businesses or errands in designated CMCO areas to not to rush to police stations.
“Download the form, fill in the requested information accurately and then you only need to head to the police station for verification purposes only.
“Please also be reminded that applications done for social purposes are not allowed and will be denied,” he said.
