RM10k fine only for repeat offenders of SOP, says Ismail Sabri


PUTRAJAYA: The public should have faith that the police will use their discretion when enforcing the Emergency Ordinance, especially when issuing fines against standard operating procedure (SOP) violators.

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob added that although the fine against those breaching the movement control order has been increased to up to RM10,000, the police have said that the maximum compound would only be slapped on repeat and serious offenders.
