KUALA LUMPUR – Police have identified the foreigner who breached Malaysia’s Covid-19 standard operating procedures by trying to enter a luxury retail outlet in Suria KLCC without a mask, as well as Bangsar Shopping Centre.
In a report by Astro Awani, Dang Wangi district police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya said the suspect – believed to be in her 50s – who had blatantly disrespected Malaysian laws will be called in to give her statement soon.
He said the authorities have already taken statements from three witnesses to assist in their investigation.
“As of now, the suspect has been identified and the witness statements have been taken. The next step will be completing the investigation papers as the final investigation process,” Noor Dellhan said.
The video of the Caucasian arguing with a retail staff in KLCC – who adamantly refused her entry for not wearing a face mask – had gone viral in social media.
Undeterred, the no-mask Caucasian woman tried to do the same in Bangsar Shopping Centre and was seen picking a fight with a security guard who also barred her entry.
Malaysians across the board lambasted the Caucasian woman for her behaviour, while Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin waded into the fray – saying his ministry is also investigating the matter.
Meanwhile, several Caucasian expatriates in Malaysia have issued an apology over her behaviour – adding that not all “Mat Salleh”, “Minah Salleh”, and “angmohs” behave in that manner, with many respecting the laws of the country.
Noor Dellhan said the investigation will be conducted under Section 21A of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease Act 1988. – The Vibes, October 30, 2021
