SHAH ALAM: The public cannot prevent the police from inspecting their vehicles if there is a suspicion that a crime has been or is being committed, said Deputy Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

He said that the police officers manning the roadblocks (SJRs) had an obligation to inspect documents such as identification card, license, vehicle details, validity of road insurance and travel documents.

“The public must obey SJR staff when asked to provide the documents involved and that is within their prerogative of standard operating procedures (SOP) under the guidelines of the National Security Council (MKN).

“Not obstructing police officers from fulfilling their duties is also among the SOPs set by MKN,” he said at a press conference after a visit to the roadblock set up at Setia Alam Toll Plaza here today. .

He said this when asked to comment on those who have been questioning the power and limitations of the police when operating the roadblocks.

“This is because there are those who use vehicles to smuggle prohibited goods or to commit criminal activities … the vehicle can also be stolen,” he said.

When asked to comment on the Covid-19 vaccine that is expected to arrive in the country this Sunday, Acryl Sani said its team had made detailed preparations to help the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) ensure its safe arrival.

“This includes ensuring that the movement, transfer, storage and distribution of vaccines to designated locations are safe and secure,” he said.

Commenting on the issue of the arrest of the founder of the app and website ‘Sugarbook’, he said his team was gathering evidence from relevant parties to complete the investigation that will be sent to the Attorney General for further action.

A 34-year-old local man believed to be the founder of the app, who is from Penang, was arrested at 4.30pm yesterday at a condo in Kuala Lumpur.

Following public complaints, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) blocked access to the site, claiming that more and more women in the country, especially college students, were being offered to become “sugar babies” through of the site. -Called
