PETALIZING JAYA: A resident of PJ Old Town, who has been placed under an Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) is singing praises for members of the service border line there for managing the restricted area.
His experience contrasts with the conditions suffered by residents of the Sri Murni Fasa 2 Apartment in Selayang, which was placed under an EMCO on April 20.
S. Selvam, 49, who lives in Jalan 4/42 in Section 4, said authorities have cared about residents by ensuring they have an adequate food supply and are in good health.
He said that while police and soldiers are strict in enforcing EMCO, they are also flexible and allow residents to receive delivery of goods at checkpoints.
“There is no shortage of food, as we are supplied on time during meals,” said Selvam, who works for a newspaper.
“If we run out of a particular essential item, we just need to contact the operating room and it will be delivered. I went for the Covid-19 test at a screening center and it took me less than five minutes.
“We are very grateful for the excellent service and attention they gave us. It makes it easier for us since we are trapped in our homes. “
He thanked area assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran for ensuring that food was delivered to residents on time.
theSun recently highlighted the plight of Selayang residents, who only received one 5 kg bag of rice, 2 kg of cooking oil and 1 kg of flour per household when under EMCO.
Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya Police Chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said house-to-house contact tracing operations by police and health officials in Zone C of the location were completed yesterday.
Zone C covers Jalan Selangor, Lorong 3 / 57D, Lorong 3 / 57C, Jalan RIDA 3/56 and Jalan Sentosa 3/57 in Petaling Jaya.
He said that of the 20 houses reviewed, 16 were empty while the occupants of the remaining houses were examined.
Nik Ezanee said 1,400 people, including 376 foreigners, have been examined since the EMCO was implemented on Sunday.
He said the Welfare Department also drew up a schedule for the distribution of medicines and dry, fresh food to residents.
“The Welfare Department set a date to handle complaints received from residents through the operating room. The department also manages the contributions received from the parliamentarians and assembly members of the area and will carry out a second phase of food distribution on Friday ”.
