PETALING JAYA: A sundry shop owner in Kelantan who was issued a RM50,000 compound for allegedly violating the movement control order says he only has his shop to offer as payment.
KUALA LUMPUR: The RM50,000 compound imposed on two sellers in Kota Baru for operating beyond 10pm is not a “death penalty”, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
He said individuals who were compounded for flouting the standard operating procedure of the Covid-19 movement control order could directly appeal to the Health Ministry for a reduction.
“It is not a ‘death penalty’ (based on the prescribed amount, they still can appeal), I have repeatedly stated that they can appeal, ” he told a press conference at Bukit Aman after handing over appreciation letters to reject corruption yesterday.
Abdul Hamid said in the two cases, the sellers alleged that they were compounded by the police even after they had closed their stalls.
PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet and the National Security Council special meeting will be presented with the details of offences and the amount to be paid by offenders under the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
“We are aware that the public is still confused about the issue of the RM10,000 compound despite the matter being explained time and again by the Inspector-General of Police as well as myself, said the Senior Minister on Tuesday (March 16).
He added that because of this, details would be given on the offences and the amount to be paid.
KANGAR (Bernama): The government will spell out the offences which are subject to a RM10,000 compound under the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 to clear any confusion on its implementation, says Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) said this matter would be discussed at the Covid-19 Emergency Management Technical Committee meeting on Tuesday (March 16). We will maintain the Ordinance on the RM10,000 compound for individuals and RM50,000 for companies but the government will resolve the issue of its implementation, including on the issuance of summonses, to violators,” he said.
