Media statement by MP for Bukit Gelugor and Chairman of DAP National Legal Bureau Conicl, Ramkarpal Singh on 17 February 2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement by  Kuala Lumpur police chief Saiful Azly Kamaruddin that the case of Minister of Federal Territories Annuar Musa needs to be referred to the Attorney General before a compound is issued is absolute nonsense and smacks of double standards when compared to those who are compounded by the police for breaching MCO SOPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 25 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

\u201cCompounding of offences.The Director General or any public officer authorized 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

It is clear that any public officer can issue a compound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many who have breached SOPs have been dealt with under the said section.
