KUALA LUMPUR: The public’s compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), especially related to the ban on Aidilfitri visits or gatherings, is at a satisfactory level.
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department director Datuk Seri Abd Rahim Jaafar said no compounds were issued in relation to these offences during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period.
He said that until now, there were only compounds imposed for not wearing face masks apart from not practising social distancing.
“From observations in residential areas it was also found that there were not many vehicles (around), indicating that there were no significant gathering activities by the public.
“However, monitoring and patrols will continue to be done from time to time to ensure that this situation remains for a long time,“ he said when met by Bernama today.
