PETALING JAYA: Lawyers have welcomed the government’s move to issue compound notices to those who defy the movement control order , saying it will alleviate the workload of the police force as well as the courts, and reduce the possible transmission of the Covid-19 virus.
“There is also no necessity to keep suspects in lock-ups before they are charged in court and sent to jail,” he said. Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department director Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said yesterday that police would begin issuing RM1,000 compound notices to those who breached the MCO.“Those who disobey the MCO will be brought to the police station before being handed the compound notice,” he said.Lawyer M Visvanathan agreed that bringing offenders to police stations would defeat the purpose of social distancing.
