He said the victim received outpatient treatment and was in stable condition.

"I visited the roadblock after the incident, and works to repair the tents have been completed.

"The repairs were assisted by the Malaysian Armed Forces led by Mejar Borhanuddin Mustaparudin," he said.

ACP Ismadi urged everyone to remain at home and comply with the MCO.

"Don't go out unnecessarily or without valid reason as police will not hesitate to take stern action.
