An entire village spanning two districts in Kelantan was placed under an Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) when 78 Covid-19 cases were found in the community on 7 May.
Kampung Pauh Lima – situated in Bachok and Kota Bharu – and its 1,032 residents will be confined to their homes from 19 May till 1 June.
According to the Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Shafien Mamat, the village will be tightly secured to avoid villagers from moving about. Authorities will also be blocking off ‘laluan tikus’ or hidden trails within the village to keep people in.
104 officers will be on station throughout the (EMCO) period. We’ve identified seven laluan tikus and are looking for appropriate locations to set up barbed wires.

BHARU: Kelantan Mufti, Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamad, said that his experience after being infected with Covid-19 last year, and having to be treated in hospital for 16 days, made him realise the importance of vaccination.
Therefore, he advised the public, especially those aged 60 and above, not to worry about the vaccine administered because it did not contain banned substances.
“I urge Muslims who will be receiving the Covid-19 shots to do so with full confidence. The public need not worry because it does not hurt at all. Maybe, a slight tingling in the shoulder after the injection, if any,” he said.
