The two men who were caught fishing during the movement control order (MCO) in Sungai Siput, Perak have had their three-month jail term revoked. Read more:

High Court of Taiping Judicial Commissioner K. Muniandy ordered both men to do the community service for four hours daily, to begin after the MCO is lifted.“Let this be a lesson to everyone, ” he said Wednesday after asking the men if they would still go out during MCO.

The case was then brought to the Taiping High Court after National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer Balakrishna Balaravi Pillai, who represented the two men, filed an application to review the decision. Balakrishna had argued that both men are first-time offenders and their offence was not serious enough for them to be sent to prison.

Justice for the poor. The government can do better than handcuff people who need to genuinely feed themselves. Please enforce MCO but with common sense and love for the people. Corrupted high politicians accused of stealing RM billions are not even handcuffed by police.

These Poor men has No Money and Savings.. Jail them for trying to feed their families. WTF

JUSTICE? Could PDRM PDRMsia please explain whether there are 2 sets of SOP when suspects are arrested & charged in court? Why are the rich & powerful treated differently from the downtrodden poor & ordinary people? Why are the poor & ordinary people handcuffed & not the rich?

What will be their punishment, I wonder? EnhancedMovementControlOrder TrustNoOne
