IPOH, May 24 -- Any individual who is unhappy with being compounded for violating the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) during the period of the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) in Perak, can appeal to the authorities.
Perak police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid in a statement today said that was among the options available other than the individual could appear in court to appeal during the trial.
"If the compounded person is not satisfied or refuses to admit wrongdoing, he can choose two options, namely to appeal to the District Health Office (PKD) or go to court and claim trial," he said in the statement.
He was commenting on the allegations of a Twitter user; @Ayuni_Bunga who today uploaded a compound notice of RM25,000 imposed on a caretaker for conducting a self-service laundry operation in the EMCO area.
Bernama checks found that the compound notice was issued in Bandar Pengkalan Indah, Simpang Pulai, here against the caretaker of the premises at about 3.55 pm yesterday.
Based on the SOP of the EMCO implemented in the Hulu Kinta sub-district, laundry or self-service laundry services are listed as among the non-essential services that are not allowed to operate throughout the EMCO period.
It was reported that four sub-districts in Perak were subject to EMCO, namely Pengkalan Hulu sub-district in Hulu Perak district, Taiping sub-district in Larut, Matang and Selama district, Hulu Kinta sub-district covering Ipoh, Lahat, Chemor and Tanjung Rambutan in Kinta district and Hulu Bernam Timur sub-district in Muallim district starting from May 22 to June 4.
