IGP: Time to increase compounds for MCO violations


KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 30): Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador (pic) says the current compound fine of RM1,000 imposed on those flouting standard operating procedures (SOP) for the movement control order (MCO) should be increased as Covid-19 cases nationwide are continuing to rise.

He said each week, police would issue thousands of summonses to individuals for violating SOP, the majority for not adhering to physical distancing.
