MCO: High Court judge upholds jail sentence on 'Kajang 17' for non-compliance


SHAH ALAM: The High Court here has maintained the jail sentence imposed on 17 people who had flouted the movement control order (MCO) by gathering at a condominium unit in Kajang earlier this month.

In her judgment, Judicial Commissioner Norsharidah Awang told the group – aged between 22 and 34 – to stay at home, as the MCO was to curb the spread of an infectious disease.
