PETALING JAYA: Chief Security Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob says 502 people were arrested yesterday by police for crimes related to the conditional movement control order (CMCO), including 40 for traveling between districts and states.
A total of 470 of them were fined while the rest were arrested.
Most of them were sanctioned for not registering customers’ personal data when entering stores (55), not wearing masks (99), not practicing physical distancing (204) and operating business premises beyond the allowed hours ( 63).
