KOTA KINABALU – Police have identified the woman who sneaked out of the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) area in Bandaran Berjaya near here by slipping through a barbed wire fence.

“We have identified (the woman),” Sabah police commissioner Datuk Hazani Ghazali said today.

Hazani said police received a report on the incident after a video on TikTok went viral.

The 31-second video, believed to have been recorded last night, showed a woman sneaking out of the area before fleeing to a nearby building.

The Bandaran Berjaya area has been placed under EMCO from yesterday to July 25 following an increase in Covid-19 cases in the area.

Hazani advised residents in EMCO areas to always abide by the instructions set by the authorities to prevent the spread of the pandemic. – Bernama, July 13, 2021
