Setuju. Ini dasar yang bagus dari zaman @DrDzul. Semalam saya telah minta penguatkuasaan terhadap larangan merokok ini ditingkatkan lagi. Sambil memantau pematuhan SOP pandemik, boleh denda perokok yang langgar larangan tersebut. Sekali harung. https://t.co/jxYeIWbbp3— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) October 21, 2021
