KUALA LUMPUR,  Nov 26 ― Five Myanmar men pleaded guilty in the Selayang Magistrate's Court here today to a charge with defying the conditional movement control order (CMCO) by travelling in a car to cross a state border without a police permit.

Magistrate Nur Hafizah Rajuni meted out the maximum fine of RM1,000, in default a month’s jail, on two of them ― car sprayer San Oo, 47 and wireman, San Tun, 52.
