In my opinion, road blocks set up by one or two officers are unofficial. Should it cause the public inconvenience, note down the place, time and which department is conducting the exercise. Snap a photograph with your camera phone if possible. Finally, contact the relevant authorities to confirm its authenticity.

Btw how can we know the roadblock is from authorized personnel? These day there are many cases of bogus police and JPJ enforcement officer. Besides that there are many police or JPJ officer that set-up their own roadblock instead of a operation, this kind of roadblock usually consist of only 2 officers and it’s very inconvenience for road user that rushing in time. So is there any way for us to confirm the genuineness of the roadblocks?

Puspakom discs are given to commercial vehicles to be posted onto windscreen to show proof it has undergone inspection.

Sometimes roadblocks are good, most of the times they are more a nuisance than a facility for either the govt or the public.
