PUTRAJAYA, May 22 — Spending the night is considered a violation of the standard operating procedure (SOP) issued by the government for Aidilfitri visits, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said, under the SOP, this activity was only allowed for the first day.
“If Hari Raya falls on the 24th, if a person sleeps there beyond 12.01 a.m., that makes it the 25th, and he wants to continue celebrating the next day, so that is violating the SOP,” he said in a press conference on the Movement Control Order here today.
