Family Of Six Fined RM6,000 For Going To The Supermarket Together in Selangor

Everyone needs to really take the Movement Control Order (MCO) seriously. We’ve already been in this MCO for close to a month now, and yet there are still people out there who feel that it is alright to go against the order.

A family of six in Sabak Bernam has collectively been charged RM6,000 for not following the MCO when they went to the supermarket together. Now that’s a costly supermarket outing! As reported by NST, Sabak Bernam district police chief Superintendent Agus Salim explained that the family members who are aged between 19 to 48 were apprehended on Saturday (11 April) at 12.45 pm. He said,

“Among the offences committed was going against the order of an enforcement official, entering a supermarket as a group, (and) not practicing social distancing. All the individuals were compounded according to Regulation 11 of the Regulations and Control of Infectious Diseases 2020.”

The family have now been given two weeks to pay up their fine. We would like to urge everyone to please adhere to the MCO. We are living in difficult times and we need to do this collectively in order to curb the spread of Covid-19. Let’s not add unnecessary stress on top of what we are already going through at the moment ok?
