KUALA LUMPUR: Eight women, including a British woman, who practiced yoga in a house in Desa Hartamas here were fined yesterday for violating the conditional movement control order (CMCO).
Brickfields Police Chief ACP Zairulnizam Mohd Zainuddin said police had previously received complaints from the public about a private yoga center operating from a home on Jalan 45 / 70A.
He said the checks were carried out by a police team and the nine women between the ages of 40 and 60 were found to be yoga practitioners and not related to each other.
“We discovered that the house had been converted into a yoga center and the women had not followed CMCO’s rules at the center, such as social distancing. During the controls, the organizer of the activity did not cooperate and tried to dispute the police actions ”. he said.
Zairulnizam said the women, including the site keeper, were taken to the Sri Hartamas police station, where they were each handed a RM 1,000 compound for violating the CMCO.
He urged the owners of any premises to observe the CMCO’s standard operating procedures, as failure to do so could result in them facing a hefty fine.
