Though business premises will be closed for three days at hotspots, such as KLCC, commuters are still allowed to use the LRT services.

PUTRAJAYA: All public transport services at stations and terminals listed under the Hotspots Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) early warning system will continue to operate.

In a statement today, the transport ministry said the three stations involved were the KLCC LRT, Masjid Jamek LRT and KL Sentral.

“However, all business premises at the stations listed will be closed for three days from May 9 to 11 in accordance with the directives issued by the National Security Council (MKN) yesterday,” the statement read.

Any closure or opening of these business premises was still subject to the MKN’s directives from time to time, it said.

The ministry added that public transport services were very important for the country, especially for the frontliners who relied on continuous operations even during the implementation of the movement control order (MCO) in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

“All public transport stations must always be open for the purpose of transferring or delivering essential supplies in the event of an emergency,” it said.

The ministry said the stations were also equipped with thermal scanners in addition to the strict enforcement of Covid-19 SOPs.

It also reminded all public transport users to continue to adhere to SOPs including washing hands frequently, using hand sanitisers, wearing face masks, maintaining physical distance and scanning the MySejahtera QR code.
