Kuala Lumpur: A total 330 individuals have been issued compound notices of RM10,000 each to date for flouting the Movement Control Order (MCO) standard operating procedure (SOP) nationwide, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador (pic).
“Yes, 330 individuals have been issued with the compound notices for flouting the MCO SOP,” he said when contacted.
He said the decision to raise the amount of compound was not to punish offenders excessively or enable the Government to collect money from the public.
