JOHOR BARU: More than 100,000 compounds have been issued nationwide for various Covid-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) violations since March last year.
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department director Comm Datuk Seri Abd Rahim Jaafar said apart from not wearing face masks and failing to practice physical distancing, another common violation was attempting to cross state borders without valid reasons.
“We understand the public’s sentiment. Some are upset getting stuck for hours at police roadblocks but we are just doing our part to break the chain of infections,” he told a press conference in Taman Desa Idaman in Senai here on Wednesday (May 12).
