11 joggers, mostly expats, arrested in Mont Kiara for defying MCO
The arrests come after photos and videos showing people — presumably residents of the area — jogging in the outdoors in apparent defiance of the MCO went viral and subsequently led to public backlash.
Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the police detained 116 foreigners at a factory in Muar this afternoon as they were reportedly preparing to perform their Friday prayers, despite the movement control order (MCO) being enforced.
He said those arrested consisted of Pakistani, Bangladeshis and Indonesian nationals.
“Those involved were preparing their Friday prayers on the rooftop of the factory."
“At the same time, we (the police) will also investigate their employers If they are aware of the MCO and if they have taken any precautions in light of the situation,” said Ayob Khan, adding that to date, the total number of individuals detained for violating the MCO in Johor stood at 149, of which 33 were local residents.

“So, it can be seen that even in such a situation, there are still those who take their safety for granted by not adhering to instructions,” said Ayob Khan.
He added that the police will initiate action against the foreigners under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and also the Immigration Act 1959/63.
