Reconsider proposed amendment to Act 342, says Mohamad Hasan


SEREMBAN: A proposal by the Health Ministry to amend legislation to provide stiffer penalties for those who flout Covid-19 standard operating procedures should be reconsidered, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan(pic).

The Umno deputy president said the proposed amendments, which included punishing individuals who violate the SOPs with a maximum compound of RM10,000 from the current RM1,000 and increasing the jail term from six months to seven years were highly unreasonable.
