SEPANG: Police are tracking down eight families in Taman Murni here who vanished on June 30 before the enforcement of the enhanced movement control order (EMCO).
According to Sepang district police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof, there are 465 houses in Taman Murni with 1,588 residents.
Of these, 69 houses are unoccupied while the inhabitants of eight houses could not be located.
“Some residents disappeared before the EMCO as they did not want their movements to be restricted.
Yet the advantage (of the EMCO) for residents is that screenings are done, vaccinations are provided and food supply is channelled to them,” he told the media after an Op Patuh inspection to check SOP compliance at the industrial area here today.
He also said a family of four returned home voluntarily to the housing area yesterday for screening and vaccination.
On the enforcement of the EMCO in the Sepang district that covered Dengkil, Labu and Sepang sub-districts, he said he would discuss the matter in further detail with Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed today.
Wan Kamarul said there are currently eight roadblocks in Sepang, four of which are on roads bordering Negeri Sembilan.
He added that there was a possibility that the roadblocks could be mounted on highway routes for a more thorough inspection, following the enforcement of the EMCO in most sub-districts in Selangor from midnight.
Wan Kamarul also said 45 factories in Putra Perdana, Dengkil, Sungai Pelek and Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi would be inspected during Op Patuh.
