PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak wants the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali, to be indicted in court for allegedly violating the mandatory quarantine order.
Khairuddin faced criticism in August for allegedly violating the order when he attended a Dewan Rakyat meeting shortly after returning from a working trip to Turkey.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Health awarded him a compound of 1,000 ringgit and the police have investigated him.
“Let the court decide if he is wrong and what his punishment would be, as I understand that the ministry of health or the department of immigration had overlooked issuing a mandatory quarantine order for him.
“If he loses, he can still appeal,” Najib said in a Facebook post today.
The former prime minister also listed a series of measures to address the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases after six days of triple-digit cases.
He said authorities must first ban interstate travel on the peninsula for all non-commercial vehicles for the next two weeks.
“Advise the rakyat not to return to their places of origin for now so as not to infect the elderly,” he said, adding that private companies and the government should also allow their staff to work from home.
“Encourage all private employers to allow staff to work from home. Instruct government officials and companies to work from home if they are not required to be in the office, ”he said.
Najib also recommended an Enhanced Motion Control Order (TEMCO) for the Jalan Meru group in Klang, Selangor.
Until yesterday, the Health Ministry said that the cluster had 15 new cases, of which 11 are in Selangor, one in Kuala Lumpur and three in Johor.
Najib called on banks to reinstate the general loan moratorium for clients in Sabah because under EMCO only essential companies are allowed to operate.
“Therefore, the moratorium should be reinstated as long as the state remains under EMCO,” he said.
The list of measures also covered restaurants and eateries, and Najib said operators should be given some leeway to set up their tables outside their stores without being fined, as the risk of infection is lower in outdoor areas.
