MELAKA, Nov 13 — A total of 299 traffic personnel, including 130 reinforcements from other contingents and formations, are scheduled to be on duty tomorrow on polling day for the 16th Melaka state election with a focus on areas surrounding the polling stations.
Melaka Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief, Superintendent Muhammad Zaki Ramat, said a total of 3,332 police officers and personnel have been deployed to ensure public safety and order on polling day.
He added that traffic personnel have also been stationed along various entry routes into the state including highways, federal roads, and state roads to ensure smooth traffic flow.
“We believe that most voters returning from outside Melaka have already arrived in the state. We are also aware that Melaka tends to get somewhat congested on weekends due to the influx of tourists, the arrival of voters accompanied by their families, and the presence of party supporters who have already gathered here.
