CHUKAI – Another Terengganu executive councillor has been fined RM2,000 for violating the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Aidilfitri under the movement control order (MCO 3.0).
State Welfare, Women Development, Family and National Unity Committee chairman Hanafiah Mat was handed the fine after giving his statement at the Kemaman district police headquarters last night.
District police chief Hanyan Ramlan said Hanafiah, who is also Chukai assemblyman, was found visiting several homes on the first day of Aidilfitri, which caused a stir on social media.
“We will not compromise with any party found to be violating the SOPs and will take stern action if any violation is committed,” he said when contacted by reporters here today.
Meanwhile, on his official Facebook account, Hanafiah said he accepted the punishment and had paid the compound.
Hanafiah is the second Terengganu executive councilor to be compounded after Agriculture and Agro-based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman Azman Ibrahim, who is also Jabi assemblyman, was compounded the same amount for breaching the Aidilfitri SOPs on Friday. – Bernama, May 16, 2021
