Pasir Salak Member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman has been slapped with a RM1,500 compound for violating Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Based on a statement made by the Dang Wangi Police Station, he violated Regulation 17 of The Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures in Local Infectious Areas) Regulations 2021 for not wearing a mask during a recent Prasarana press conference.

The police also said that the compound will be sent to him soon and the fine was issued after it was decided by the Attorney General’s Chambers.

He attended the press conference a day after the LRT freak accident in which two trains collided in a tunnel between KLCC LRT station and Kampung Baru LRT station.

It was reported by MalaysiaKini that the Pasir Salak MP was photographed wearing a face shield during the event.
