Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today stressed that there were no double standards in the conviction of Deputy Health Minister Noor Azmi Ghazali and Perak exco member Razman Zakaria who were fined RM1,000 for violating the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease (Measures Within Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020.

Ismail explained that the duo did not violate the MCO but had instead breached the standard operating procedure (SOP) governing movements during the MCO, such as practising social distancing.

He said this is because the government had already announced that elected representatives can move around to assist the people during the MCO, subject to rules and regulations.
