KOTA BARU: The burger seller, colek seller and sundry shop owner who were each slapped with a RM50,000 compound for violating the movement control order may be able to breathe a sigh of relief as their fines will be reduced.
Kelantan police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Shafien Mamat said the decision was reached after discussions between police and the Kelantan Health Department on Wednesday, although he did not reveal the new figure.
Kelantan police would take action according to guidelines on compound discounts set under Act 342, or the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, he said.
He said the state Health Department had the power to offer a reduced rate for the compound as outlined in the guidelines.

Berita Harian reported Tuesday (April 27) that Mohd Azizi Mohd Nor, 42, had been issued the compound two days ago at Kampung Chekok Tengah. I was shocked when I saw the amount.

Only the kitchen was still open because my wife and I were still cleaning up, he said, adding that at the time, he was cooking food for his children.
