KUALA LUMPUR: Police believe it’s time to raise the current compound fine of RM1,000 imposed on offenders found flouting the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the Movement Control Order (MCO) following a spike in Covid-19 cases nationwide.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said each week police would issue thousands of summonses to individuals for violating the SOP, with the majority involving those not adhering to physical distancing.
To make matters worse, he said, there were some who even made inter-district and inter-state travels without valid reasons.
“If the RM1,000 compound is considered small, then those who are stubborn will surely pay the price when the move to raise the compound fine is gazetted. The time has come for the compound fine to be increased,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
