MCO Offenders Face RM10,000 Fine Under New Emergency Ordinance

Individuals found guilty of breaching the Movement Control Order (MCO) will now be fine RM10,000 compared to the RM1,000 fine previously imposed.

Meanwhile, companies and organizations will be liable to a maximum fine of up to RM50,000.

The new rule is according to the new Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 gazetted yesterday.

Covid-19 patients or close contact personnel may also be instructed to wear a tracking device for easier monitoring under the new ordinance.

The new rules will come into effect on March 11.
