Two days ago, the government has put into enforcement a new law that needs all individuals to wear a face-mask where they are in public spaces. This is to stop the spread of COVID-19 within Malaysia. Anyone who arrested for violating the law will be fined as much as RM1000, as per the Prevention and Control of Infections Diseases Act 1988.

The law is now starting and it is still some people are questioning how for those who are underprivileged and can’t afford to buy new boxes of disposable face mask.

A post on Twitter shared how a homeless old man who absolutely can’t afford a face mask, was digging a pile of trash in an attempt to find one used mask so he can wear it to avoid being fined by the authorities.
