Cop was just doing his job, says Subang Jaya OCPD over mosque video

SUBANG JAYA: A policeman that was shown on a video clip enforcing Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) at a mosque was only following current procedures, say police.

The video, which was uploaded on Friday (Feb 25), showed a policeman asking several people why they had not taken their booster shots yet.

Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Abd Khalid Othman said that the policeman was just doing his duty.

"The corporal was explaining that in Selangor, the congregation that intend to perform Friday prayers at the mosque have to be both fully vaccinated and received their booster shots before being allowed in.

"Checks showed that the incident occurred on Feb 25 at the Batu 14 mosque in Puchong," he said in a statement on Saturday (Feb 26).

A police report has been lodged against the uploader, he added for creating unrest.
