KUALA LUMPUR, October 6 -- Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin emphasised today that there is no practice of double standards in complying with COVID-19 quarantine orders.
The prime minister said he himself and his ministers are not exempted from adhering to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the Health Ministry in this matter.
“I, as the prime minister, am not exempted from complying with the SOPs. This is the second time that I am observing home quarantine since the pandemic hit the country. I must comply with the rules,” he said in a special address to the nation over television and Facebook on the latest COVID-19 situation in the country.
Muhyiddin said observing the home quarantine along with him are seven ministers and six deputy ministers. All of them had attended a meeting, chaired by Muhyiddin, where a minister was later found to be COVID-19 positive.
“They (the ministers and deputy ministers) must comply with the rules. Action can be taken against them for breaching the rules,” said the prime minister.
