Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today stressed that there were no double standards in the conviction of Deputy Health Minister Noor Azmi Ghazali and Perak exco member Razman Zakaria who were fined RM1,000 for violating the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease (Measures Within Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020.

Ismail explained that the duo did not violate the MCO but had instead breached the standard operating procedure (SOP) governing movements during the MCO, such as practising social distancing.

He said this is because the government had already announced that elected representatives can move around to assist the people during the MCO, subject to rules and regulations.

The organisers must ensure compliance to the existing rules as well as the SOP such as practising social distancing, wearing face masks, using sanitiser.

As part of the move to curb the spread of COVID-19, the government has allowed the visits to be only on the first day of the Aidilfitri celebrations.

The reality is that every individual is responsible for maintaining their own safety by practising social distancing, especially when using public vehicles.
