To all you heroes that have been using letters issued by your employers to ronda-ronda all over the place, listen up!

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has warned that the police will take stringent action against people who misuse these letters.


"The permission letter by your employers is only meant for work. 

"It is not meant to be used for holidaying over the weekend," he said during his daily press conference on 26 October.

Ismail Sabri added that the government would leave it to the police to take stringent action against those who misused their letters.

In previous cases, those who were found misusing letters have been fined RM1,000.

Numbers still going up

Anyway, just FYI, the CMCO in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya has been extended for another two weeks because numbers are still going up.


Even if you've escaped being stopped by the cops by presenting your work letter when heading out of your areas, just don't make it a habit lah. 

We had a total of 1,240 new COVID-19 cases in the country yesterday (26 October) alone.

Seven additional people died and three new clusters have been discovered.

The ONLY way we can stop the numbers from going up is if we all work together, follow the SOPs and stay at home.
