While stressing that MCA supports the government s war against the Covid-19 pandemic, Chong said the welfare of the public must not be sidelined in the process.
Chong was referring to several incidents where hawkers were fined RM50,000 for operating beyond 10pm, which is not permissible in states under the movement control order (MCO). This incident should not happen again, so that the government will not be labelled as an evil government that has no discretion, he said during a press conference at MCA s headquarters on Wednesday (April 28). We hope authorities will have more compassion in issuing compounds to those who violated Covid-19 SOPs. he added.
