Balance enforcement with humane considerations

ENFORCEMENT of the Covid-19 SOPs is at a critical stage and I see that the police have begun to evolve into combining assistance and implementing the law for full compliance. This approach is better, more humane and on the right track in balancing enforcement with compassion during this extraordinary crisis.

The White Flag movement has come as a shock and a wake up call. We never imagined that so many of our fellow Malaysians are unable to feed their families. The movement seems to have triggered a new sense of patriotism with people rallying together to help those in need. Politics really has no place in this situation. The police too must adapt and readjust accordingly.
