Mar 12, 2021

The IGP has been urged not to go after the individual who claimed Kelantan government workers tried to cut the queue for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The National Vaccination Program's coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin said this amid concerns of police punishing whistle-blowers.

Cops in Kelantan earlier said they were expecting to record a statement from the individual, who alleged that 200 state secretariat staff attempted to get the vaccine early.

Individual slapped with RM10k compound failed to register details before entering premises

KL police say the individual who was issued a RM10,000 compound yesterday did not register his details at all before visiting a restaurant.

Cops explained that he was given the compound because he failed to register via the MySejahtera app and did not enter his details manually.

This is contrary to claims on social media, that he wrote his details down.
