The defence minister this afternoon explained that the accusations and charges against politicians were different compared to normal violators, as politicians are allowed to travel under the MCO to serve the public as an essential service.He was referring to Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali and Perak executive councillor Razman Zakaria who were jointly charged yesterday in the Magistrate’s Court with disobeying MCO. Both were fined RM1,000 each after they pleaded guilty.
Under the Act 342 or the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, Section 25 of compounding of offences reads, “The Director-General or any public officer authorised for this purpose by him in writing may compound any offence under this Act or any regulations made under this Act which has been prescribed by regulations as compoundable by collecting from the offender a sum of money not exceeding one thousand ringgit.
