“Yes, we are tracking down these repeat violators. We will not hesitate to take sterner actions against those who continued to defy the order,” he said.
He added that offenders under phase 3 will be charged in court directly during a special media conference at Bukit Aman on April 15.
“This is because many are still not complying with the MCO when this should not be happening,” he explained.
Huzir urges the general public to obey the MCO under phase 3, until April 28 in order to make sure that the COVID-19 outbreak is brought under control soon.
