SHAH ALAM, Dec 11 ― Police have denied that a senior citizen was issued a RM1,000 compound for not wearing a face mask in front of his house as reported by a local newspaper today.

Klang Utara District Police chief ACP Nurulhuda Mohd Salleh said that the man was actually in a public place, namely a playground not too far from his house, when he was compounded for not wearing a face mask on Tuesday (December 8), thus flouting the standard operating procedure (SOP) aimed at breaking the chain of Covid-19 infection.
