IPOH (3rd July): In response to allegations made in a viral video clip that numerous people were awarded compounds for distributing supplies in Kuala Kangsar in breach of routine operational protocols, the police have refuted the claims (SOPs).
Checks revealed that the police only issued compounds for offenses committed under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and related rules and laws, according to Kuala Kangsar district police commander ACP Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob.
“We believe the viral video was the product of a misunderstanding and unhappiness among those who were penalized for violating the SOPs after distributing relief, and the police have taken steps to examine the incident,” he said today in a statement.
He stated that the police appreciate public assistance and assistance in protecting the interests of the people and the country, but that they must adhere to the SOPs in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
He also warned people not to spread fake news on social media, as it is illegal under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998’s Sections 211 and 233.
The two-minute video was a recording of a call to a local radio station saying that the Kuala Kangsar police had issued compound notices against several people for providing supplies in violation of movement control restrictions.
