Some asked if ministers were above the law, pointing out that ordinary Malaysians who did not observe their quarantine have been fined and even imprisoned. Still more seized on the source’s claim that Turkey was a “green zone” country, arguing that there was no such official classification and that Covid-19 was and still is rampant there.

She said this was a clear breach of the standard operating procedures introduced to contain Covid-19 infections in Malaysia.
