Recently, there is a video of authorities reprimanding and issuing summons to people who allegedly violated Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) in Putrajaya that went viral and many netizens were angered and confused over the video. The footage features what appears to be a public inspection on local businesses that have Malaysians questioning the details of the official Covid-19 SOP.
In the video, a policeman could be seen asking the store worker why she had not worn rubber gloves. The policeman can be seen explaining to the worker that the compound notice was being issued for a failure to wear the gloves as well as for not recording patrons’ temperatures prior to entry.
The Senior Minister of Defense said this when responding to a tweet. He tweeted “There is no SOP for wearing gloves”. Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob clarified today that Malaysians are not required to wear gloves under the National Security Council’s standard operating procedures for the Movement Control Orders (MCO).
The government has repeatedly amended the SOPs for the various movement control orders despite reusing the same names for these.
