Police: Jog only within your own neighbourhood or face fines for going beyond the boundary during ‘total lockdown’

KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — Joggers are only allowed to move within their residential neighbourhood during the total lockdown phase of the movement control order, a senior police official said today.

Those caught jogging beyond the boundaries of this residential neighbourhood will be fined, Ampang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Farouk Eshak said.

“If the residential address is beyond the neighbourhood or residential area, then an offence has been committed and legal action can be taken under Regulation 17 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within Infected Local Areas) (No. 2) 2021,” he said in a statement here.

He added that enforcement officers have been authorised to ask members of the public to show proof they live in a particular area, including checking their identification cards.
