PUTRAJAYA: Those sentenced to jail for movement control order (MCO) offences will serve time at the Prisons Department’s academy premises.Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) said 13 such premises would be gazetted to house MCO offenders to avoid overcrowding in prisons.
He said this was in line with the decision to bring MCO violators to court instead of issuing them a RM1,000 compound.
