He said that the Health Ministry could discuss with the Attorney General if there is a need to increase the compound and also add the jail term for the said offence. “If we take other countries, for examples Singapore, starting from April 17 the punishment for the first offence is Singapore dollar 10,000 and for the second offence, it’s Singapore dollar 20,000.

Ismail Sabri said that increasing the punishment can be a deterrent and create fear to the public so that they will not defy the order.“Out of that amount, 392 offenders were compounded RM1,000 and 263 had been remanded and 11 individuals were bailed,” he said.

Increase to RM5000
