rakyat during the movement control order (MCO) but they must strictly follow
the standard operating procedures set, a senior minister said.
Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said politicians, like MPs and state
assemblymen, have to continue serving the people, attending to their needs.
However, he said they are not allowed to organise feasts and have an
entourage following them during their visits.
“Two or three are enough,” Ismail added, with social distancing observed.
“I would like to inform that no one will escape the law if they go against the
MCO.
“The next course of action will depend on the police,” he said during his daily
press conference today, adding that it was not true that police were practising
double standards in their enforcement of the MCO.
Yesterday, Ismail had said police would take action against anyone flouting the
MCO rules, including VIPs.
“We have received several police reports on the matter and further
investigations will be carried out including calling on the individuals involved to
get their explanation.”
He said he had never been contacted by anyone for the “privilege” of making
any trips during the MCO.
He said volunteer groups had been reminded to obtain permission from the
National Security Council before carrying out charity work during the MCO.
