A pub customer detained for allegedly flouting SOPs says police themselves did not follow the rules.
He also complained that police had ordered him to delete video recordings and photographs he had taken during the raid on Saturday night, and questioned what right they had to do so. He complained that police did not carry out temperature checks, or record details for contact tracing or ensure that physical distancing rules were met while the detainees were at the police station.“When we asked why they did not practise physical distancing when they asked us to enter the truck, they told us to ‘Shut up and get in’ as they said we had not practised physical distancing in the bar,” he said.
Contacted by FMT, Brickfields police chief Zairulnizam Mohd Zainuddin did not confirm or deny the complainant’s allegations that police did not follow the SOPs during the raid.
