Just a week after the UK expatriate Kerry was seen in public without a mask again despite being fined, two other “Karens” were spotted strolling around Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) Park, unmasked.
The pictures of them in KLCC Park have been widely circulated after a Twitter user took it to her account and expressed her annoyance at the incident.
Dang Wangi District Police Chief, ACP Noor Dellhan Bin Yahaya has released a media statement yesterday (17 November) following the incident.
According to the statement, the criminal investigation department in Dang Wangi Police Station has officially opened an investigation paper under Section 21A Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) and Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures Within The Infected Local Areas) (National Recovery Plan) 2021.
The matter is currently being investigated and the investigation papers will be referred to the office of the deputy public prosecutor for further actions.
He also urged the people to keep practising and adhering to the Standard of Procedures (SOPs) under any circumstances and actions under the provisions of the law will be taken for the non-compliance of the SOPs.
