KUALA LUMPUR – Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa has been fined RM2,000 following his visit to former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Saturday. 

His tweet on the lunch was deleted on the same day after public outrage saw the minister slammed on social media for flouting Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) again.

Based on the deleted tweet that was screenshot and shared on social media, Annuar did not make the visit alone as he brought his wife Puan Sri Rosniah Abdul Rahman along.

“Today, we as husband and wife took the opportunity to visit Tun Abdullah Badawi and Tun Jeanne Abdullah at their residence in Bait Badawi, Kuala Lumpur.

“We were there for more than two hours and had lunch prepared by Jeanne.

“May God continue to bless Pak Lah and his family,” Annuar said in a tweet.

A Facebook user who screenshot the tweet said this is the third time Annuar had flouted SOPs.

One of the instances referred to happened in February when Annuar was seen sitting at a table with six individuals without socially distancing.

Annuar was also taken to task for lack of compliance when he uploaded a photo in January of himself briskly walking with Kuala Lumpur City Hall director-general Datuk Noordin Abdul Razak and former Kelantan Football Association treasurer Datuk Nik Aminaldin Jaafar, with no masks on. – The Vibes, July 12, 2021
