Bukit Aman CID chief says the force is awaiting an official decision. FMTNews Covid19 MCO PDRM

Some people being taken to court in Butterworth last week for offences under the Movement Control Order.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are prepared to issue compound notices on those who violate the movement control order , instead of arresting them, Bukit Aman CID director Huzir Mohamed said today. He said issuing a compound, which is the equivalent of a fine, would be the best measure to make the public aware of the need to cooperate and break the chain of Covid-19 infections.“However, it will still be up to PDRM whether to open investigation papers or issue compounds to those committing any kind of violation during the MCO,” he said in a special interview in Bukit Aman today.

He said police would evaluate the violations before deciding whether the offence will be compounded or the accused be taken to court.“This is not true. If they are to be issued with a compound, we will take them to the police station first before issuing it to them,” he said. A total of 5,126 people have been detained for violating the MCO since it was enforced on March 18, with 2,294 charged in court.

Police should go easy on locking up MCO violatorsCOMMENT | ‘These are not hardened criminals. Most are confused about the situation.’ Which part of “Stay at Home” is confusing for these idiots? This is not some “becareful, water’s hot, don’t burn yourself” situation. This is a deadly virus that kills $h/tstorm situation right now. N if idiots is confused about that, let jail give them a sobering wake up call. Bodo. Go easy? Kau ingat covid nak go easy dengan kau ke? Artikel bodo. Yep yep! In this time government is busy and there probably won’t be much monitoring. But put a head in charge to draw the line on treatment towards these violators. Can’t be solely at the police discretion.
