Engineer Johari Sulaiman, 33, decided on takeaway as he felt it was safer to break his fast with his family at home. George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong said his men had stepped up their patrols to prevent the public from lingering at public spaces. “We are conducting spot checks at eateries and public areas to make sure the people do not loiter in these places. “We have also deployed policemen to the popular restaurants where people throng to buka puasa. “The situation is well under control and we will continue to monitor from time to time, ” he said when contacted yesterday.
