The Dewan Rakyat on Monday saw a heated debate over Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali’s controversy of failing to comply with the 14-days mandatory quarantine, after his visit to Turkey in July:

He told the Dewan Rakyat that the relevant laws were put in place not to victimise any party but to protect the health of all citizens and protect the country.

Nik Nazmi had asked the Health Ministry whether a higher compound should be imposed on a minister who had breached the mandatory quarantine for those who travel overseas during the MCO. Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali, also the Kuala Nerus MP, had recently come under fire for breaking the mandatory home quarantine upon his return from Turkey on July 7.

However, Malaysians have compared his punishment with a case involving a senior citizen who was sentenced to a day's jail and fined RM8,000, in default of six months' jail, by the Magistrate's Court in Ipoh on Aug 4 for a similar offence.
