Maloney's designation as the country's first Closed Area under the Special Operations Bill has left many residents wondering how to obtain the permits needed to move in and out of the community.

Today, we took to the streets to find out whether the public believes police have done enough to explain the permit process. Here's what they had to say.
Transcript
00:00So do you think the police have given enough information with regards to the Q1, the permit?
00:05No, I don't think they've given enough information.
00:07I mean, yes, they want to keep it kind of for the criminals, not to know that that's
00:14lockdown will be going on.
00:15But the nation, especially the area that was locked down, I don't think they've given enough
00:19information, meaning that where to get the permits.
00:22They do it on the night where people were not aware and then those going into their
00:26phones, people working late, say it was a kind of disorganization at the start and then
00:31they try to bring it forward and do all these new kind of meetings and stuff.
00:35I don't find it was done in the right way.
00:37They need to improve on that communication to the public at least.
00:41Yeah, the information is there and the citizens should be able to read and understand and get
00:46the information that they need for themselves.
00:48Yeah, they're giving out enough information, everything.
00:53And they're real cool and they're working with you.
00:56They're working with the people.
00:58All right.
00:58Well, considering lockdown in Maloney is really a chicken and egg situation, you know,
01:04crime is out of control and I think the government needed to do something strict, you know,
01:09to really send the message that we no longer will be tolerating crime, you know.
01:13But at the same time, you know, the innocent law-abiding citizen is also paying the price.
01:19So they have to find the middle ground in terms, again, the information out to the public.
01:23I think that wasn't done effectively enough.
01:26But then again, when they get out the information effectively enough, you know what has happened.
01:30The criminals will also be informed and able to make movements to counteract.
01:34So when they live with organized crimes, they need to be a bit armed.
01:37Should I say strong armed?
01:40No, no.
01:42In the area where I come from, from the West, Bagatel.
01:45And if that do happen down by my side, it will be really difficult for a lot of us who
01:51work certain shifts.
01:52So I don't think that they give enough information or anything.
01:57Because, say, if I work in 11 to 7 or at 10 to 6 or 11 to 13 hours, it
02:03will be kind of difficult.
02:04So I don't think so.
02:06I believe so.
02:08I believe enough information is disseminated across the social media platforms, the media platforms.
02:14And I believe that police are doing what they are asked to do and what they are responsible to do.
02:21And to my knowledge, I believe that, you know, information is being shared.
02:25They are just supposed to read and interpret it.
02:29Right?
02:30I understand that they might have a lot of persons who are hesitant because of how quickly things are being
02:35done.
02:37However, I think it's just a matter of common sense in terms of, like, just simply reading, interpreting, and abiding.
02:46In an event once a day.

02:48Yeah, absolutely.
