By now, everyone would already be aware that most states in Peninsular Malaysia are currently undergoing CMCO once again. With this implementation, there are certain SOPs that we must all abide by. One of them includes no inter-district travel except with a valid permit. To ensure this, there are roadblocks set up in different districts in Penang.
