According to Oriental Daily, North Klang district police chief ACP Nurulhuda Mohd Salleh issued a statement revealing that the 65-year-old man was not fined in front of his house, but at a hut where the police found him.

She pointed out that although the hut was not far from his home, the man was not wearing a mask at the time.

Photos of the incident were also revealed where the man was seen sitting on a white plastic chair under the hut while talking to a police officer.
