The police and local authorities only have the power to issue the compound, not to reduce the amount or accept any payment.
He said a technical meeting was held yesterday between the de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan and the health ministry regarding the issue. On Monday, Takiyuddin was reported to have said the government would discuss in detail the list of offences and maximum compounds in the Covid-19 Emergency Management committee meeting.
“We agreed to let the health ministry determine the details of the offences and the amount of the compound. For example, frequenting a nightclub, the compound imposed is RM10,000 and for the offence of not wearing a face mask, how much would the maximum compound be,” he said.
