Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has appealed to members of the public not to turn matters related to Covid-19, such as quarantine regulations, into a comedic subject for entertainment purposes.

“I hope we can be more responsible. We shouldn’t take this (Covid-19) as a joke or laughing matter. It’s a major issue as it has to do with people’s lives. Don’t assume this is a matter that can be taken lightly or played for laughs because it has far-reaching consequences,” he said at a press conference today (Sept 22).
