Hishammuddin: RM1,000 compound for SOP violations ineffective


KUALA LUMPUR: The RM1,000 fine imposed on those who violate the standard operating procedures under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 or Act 342, is ineffective, says Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

He said the maximum fine imposed is not proportional to the offence committed by certain organisers or companies in complying with the required SOPs.
