Primary industries and commodities Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razal apologised earlier today for not undergoing a mandatory home quarantine after an overseas trip.
Earlier today, the health ministry said plantation industries and commodities minister Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razal had been penalised with a compound of RM1,000 on Aug 7 for breaching health and safety protocols and that he had paid the fine. She also questioned why the health ministry only made an announcement today about the Aug 7 fine, four days after she raised the issue at the Dewan Rakyat.“I raised the issue on Aug 18, and all this while the health director-general said the ministry was in the midst of investigating the minister’s quarantine violation. Why is it today that the health ministry announced to the public a compound was issued to him and he confirmed the fine?” said Kok in a statement.
