KUALA LUMPUR – Police will be calling a female wedding planner to give her statement on violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) by holding a wedding ceremony during Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).

Wangsa Maju deputy police chief D. Saralathan said police received a report at 1.59pm yesterday, after a photo of a wedding ceremony went viral on Instagram.

A check on the photo found that the wedding was held on July 27, and the individuals who gathered there did not observe physical distancing.

“Further investigations found that the wedding was held at a building in Jalan Ampang here and the organiser had rented the hall from a wedding ceremony management company.

“The 36-year-old wedding planner will be called. Yesterday, police completed questioning the building owner who rented out the premises,” he said in a statement today.

All other individuals involved will also be called to give their statements soon.

Investigations were carried out under Section 22(b) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and Regulation 17 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures Within Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2021. 

“Police investigations will focus on SOP violation for failing to comply with the movement control order under the emergency ordinance.

“Members of the public with information on the incident are told to contact senior investigation officer Mohd Mirza Che Ab Wahi at 012-945-7503 and investigation officer Insp Salina Zolkopli at 011-123-4405, or any nearby police station,” he said. – Bernama,  August 1, 2021
