PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has today agreed to set the guidelines in determining the compound amount and discount rate under Act 342 and the regulations made thereunder effective today, which among others offer a 50 per cent or 25 per cent discount on compounds settled within the stipulated period.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said individuals or companies compounded under Act 342 would automatically be given 50 percent discount if the compound is paid within seven days from the date it was issued.
“For example, for not wearing a face mask, the compound imposed is RM1,500, but if it is settled within seven days, you only have to pay RM750,“ he told a joint press conference with Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, here today.
“If the compound is paid between the eighth to 14th day, the individual or company is eligible for a 25 percent discount, but if it is settled after 14 days, no discount will be given,” he said.
Takiyuddin said at the same time the government would also give consideration for appeals on reduction of compound for those in the Persons with Disabilities (PwD), B40, student and chronically ill categories.
They may file an appeal to the Ministry of Health (MOH) through certain channels by filling up a form and attaching the supporting documents such as their PwD or student cards, he said.
In the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak, appeals may be submitted to the designated MOH officers such as the state health director, deputy director (public health), district epidemiologist and the district health office.
In the Federal Territory of Labuan, appeals can be made to the designated MOH officers, namely state health director, deputy director (public health services) and the epidemiological officer.
“Only these people have the authority to give consideration to people who have been compounded, based on their appeal and supporting documents,” he said.
Takiyuddin said compounds issued during the implementation of the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 effective March 11, are eligible for a discount and today is counted as the first day, regardless when the compound was issued.
