KUALA LUMPUR: Those who had travelled to their hometowns and are now stranded there since the movement control order was imposed will be allowed to return after getting permission to travel, says Bukit Aman.

Federal CID director Comm Datuk Huzir Mohamed (pic) said the government came to this decision on April 23 and applications could be made via the Gerak Malaysia app.

“The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei App Gallery.

“Those who are eligible can apply from today to make their interstate journeys,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

Comm Huzir said those who submitted their applications on Sunday would be required to update their application on April 29 to confirm their travel destinations.

“They will be able to check the status of their applications on May 1 via the app.

“The period for permitted interstate travel is between May 1 and 3 and all motorists must plan their trips accordingly,” he said, adding that those using the North South Expressway (NSE) must remember some important details.

Comm Huzir said that there would be no restaurants or food stalls open at any of the rest areas along the NSE.

“Surau will be closed and no group prayer activities will be allowed at the rest areas, including inside the building, open areas or carparks there.

“Only the toilet facilities will be open and motorists will be required to rest inside their vehicles at the carparks.

“They will not be allowed to exit their vehicles unless it is to go to the toilet,” he said, adding that petrol stations would be allowed to operate between 6am and midnight along the highway.

He also reminded motorists that no group activities would be permitted during the journey.

“Those who do not have access to the app can make written requests for travel at their nearest police station but priority would be given to users of the Gerak Malaysia app,” said Comm Huzir.

“A press statement will be made on the application procedures later today followed by a press conference on Wednesday to ensure all interstate travel goes smoothly and in an orderly manner.”
