If Khairuddin is in fact exempted from a quarantine period, the authorities must be able to demonstrate what this exemption is.

| It was recently reported that the Attorney General’s Chambers has decided not to charge Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Khairuddin Aman Razali due to insufficient evidence.

Under Section 15 of Act 342, it is provided that “an authorised officer may order any contact to undergo observation in such place and for such period as he may think fit, or to undergo surveillance until he may be discharged without danger to the public”. If Khairuddin is in fact exempted from a quarantine period, the authorities must be able to demonstrate what this exemption is, the absence of which would create a dangerous precedent that is arbitrary in nature. This is particularly pertinent since members of the general public are required to adhere strictly to standard operating procedures as well as Quarantine Orders during the pandemic.

It is enshrined in Article 8 of the Federal Constitution that “all persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law”. In times of great uncertainty as a result of the pandemic, leaders of a country should set a good example to its citizens. This is especially true if a minister is aware that a disease such as Covid-19 is life-threatening and highly transmissible, and he/she has a moral obligation to self-quarantine.
