Disturbed by harsh treatment of MCO violators

I APPLAUD the authorities for taking the necessary action to enforce the movement control order (MCO). At the same time, I am emotionally disturbed by how the order is implemented, especially on those who violate it.

I cannot understand why the MCO violators are handcuffed in chains and dragged to court. My children have asked me this question, but I am not a lawyer and cannot give them the right answer.
