KUALA LUMPUR: The debate in the Dewan Rakyat on a contentious Bill to raise the fines for breaching Covid-19 rules has been deferred to Monday.
It came about following an uproar over the proposed increase in fines on such offenders, which critics deemed as excessive penalties.The Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Amendment) Bill seeks to impose a maximum fine of RM500,000 on companies for compoundable offences if they break Covid-19 standard operating procedure.
