JELI: The enforcement of RM10,000 compounds, effective March 11, will only be imposed on individuals who breach the movement control order repeatedly, as well as those who can trigger the spread of Covid-19, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.

“We admit that many people misunderstand (the move) and worry about the compound amount of up to RM10,000. It is not for all offences, including failing to wear face masks.
