KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The RM10,000 compound under the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 applies to all categories of the movement control order (MCO), says Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).
This means that those in MCO, conditional MCO and recovery MCO areas can be issued a compound of RM10,000 if they violate standard operating procedures (SOP).
"But (the public) should understand, the police action (issuing compounds) is based on the Emergency Ordinance and it is for the safety of the public," he told reporters at the groundbreaking for the One Member One House (Sasar) project at Satria Residensi, Sungai Besi here on Saturday (March 13).
Ismail Sabri reiterated that the police did not have the power to reduce the amount of compound imposed and those who received the compound notice could make an appeal to the district health office. – Bernama
