Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture is appalled with the mitigation of those detained for breaching the movement control order .
If the police detain them, then it is certainly a violation of the very intention of the MCO – social distancing, among others. The suspects, the arresting and transporting officers, all those in the police station, are put at risk of infection. Lock-ups hold many other detainees, which are usually overcrowded.
Malaysia has gazetted the Prevention And Control Of Infectious Diseases Regulations 2020 [PU 111/2020], which makes all "offences under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Regulations 2020" into compoundable offences. However, if an employer/company breaches the MCO and continues operating, hence, putting workers at risk, they certainly do not deserve a compound. Justice demands that they be given a deterrent sentence, possibly imprisonment for its owners, among others, as per the penalty prescribed in the MCO regulations.
We also call on the police to arrest but not detain other criminal suspects, save for those suspected of committing more serious crimes. After all, we all know that detention or remand is unnecessary for investigation as what happened in the recent cases of our former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and many others.
The bully tactics are back with the back door government form by those rejected by voters!
Handcuff and put in locker are too heavy for violator. Should fine then for social service after the MCO over. They are not criminals. Those who know they are carries the virus and still go around or lies to hospital they are the real criminal.
Then what is the point of arrest? Ridiculous suggestion. No arrest, just whack the crap out of these stubborn idiots
