KUALA LUMPUR – The Health Ministry has denied issuing an infographic that went viral on social media depicting that a fine of RM1,500 would be issued to individuals who do not “check out” on their MySejahtera app when they leave a location or premises.

The Communications and Multimedia Ministry's Quick Response Team said in a statement that individuals would not be fined RM1,500 if they did not click “check out” on their MySejahtera app.

“The public is urged not to share any unverified information that could cause confusion or public concern,” the statement read.

The statement said that the public can check the ministry’s official social media channels to obtain the latest verified information. – Bernama, September 5, 2021
