The police have refuted a picture that went viral on social media on a police operation in which compounds amounting to RM30,000 were purportedly issued to individuals for violating the Covid-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) for Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Nilai police chief Mohd Fazley Ab Rahman said the picture actually showed a house-to-house inspection on the first day of Aidilfitri in a housing area in Nilai Impian, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan yesterday.
"The picture was falsely interpreted as an action to compound. In the actual event, police were conducting an inspection with the media to check for compliance among residents on Aidilfitri SOP in the area.
“In the inspection, we found there was a very high rate of compliance among the people and there was no infringement of the SOP as stipulated by the National Security Council (NSC),” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
The viral picture on Twitter was posted by account @lcsmxms that stated "My housing area in Nilai Impian. House owner RM25K, Guests RM5K."
Fazley advised the public to stop disseminating the picture or inaccurate news on social media sites.
