YOURSAY | CMCO - Continuously Making Confusing Order

 

YOURSAY | ‘One minute must scan; next minute no need to scan; then must scan again.’

Ismail Sabri: Certain situations require use of MySejahtera at petrol stations

Mano: “Earlier, the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) told Malaysiakini that it was compulsory to check-in with MySejahtera even if a person did not enter a petrol station's convenience store.

“Yesterday, Bukit Aman CID deputy director Mior Faridalathrash Wahid had also said that it was mandatory to check in with the MySejahtera app even if a person did not enter the convenience store. This was for contact tracing purposes, he added.”

So CPRC and Bukti Aman CID deputy director are both wrong?

Any apology for the confusion caused? Or a genuine apology is not part of our culture as our culture is "putar belit"?

At-Sixx: The government's job is to make things clear so the public knows what it needs to do. Until it is clear, it's unfair to fine the public. Communication should be from one channel.

Help the public on this and the public will help fight Covid-19 together with you.

Speaking Sense: Wow! Even this, requires clarification upon clarification. How can someone like me, without a PhD in Physics, understand such a complex instruction?

Sphzxcv: How many persons in a queue are considered a “long queue”? Please be specific.

What if I am queuing with just one person in front of me. Because of the short queue, I don’t have to scan the code. Suddenly a group comes in and a long line forms.

I am about to be served and a police officer comes in to check whether all have scanned the MySejahtera code. How now?

Monologue: A long queue is perhaps when there are more than 10 people? Should scanning be done before or after toilet and surau usage? Stay tuned. Tomorrow we will share more information.

IndigoCloud45683283: Some grey areas will be challenged by police if the SOP is clearly stated out by these half-baked ministers. The rakyat will just suffer because of this.

I Will Keep My Promise: Not scanning the MySejahtera does not appear to be an offence under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Declaration of Infected Local Areas) Order 2020.

I cannot find any regulation in the order that criminalises it. This appears to be an SOP drawn up by the National Security Council (NSC) and which is not gazetted.

In addition, MySejahtera does not appear to be a gazetted app. So how can you issue compounds when it does not appear to be in contravention against any known law in Bolehland.

Can someone in the know, really in the know, please explain this to me?

Open Mind: Whatever it is, do not give a chance for police in plainclothes to fine you - just scan the MySejahtera every time you visit a store, petrol pump or roadside store.

BlueShark1548: Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob should be the only person giving opinions on SOPs, not the police, or any other body.

There is enough confusion from over-enthusiastic officers issuing or threatening people with summonses.

IndigoBird7612: When the SOPs are not in detail, the authorities must educate the people and not blatantly give out summonses.

I saw a short clip where some teenagers joint three tables with two to a table and yet they got summoned instead of telling them that in the future they shouldn't be doing so.

The SOP is not thorough and you don't expect it to be. Some flexibility must be shown.

Hmmmmmmmm: Is there really an SOP which doesn't allow tables to be joined or the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) making up their own rules?

We have seen photos of VIPs dining together at long tables. Were those tables joined together or just one table?

If we were to join the three tables but cover them with one tablecloth, would it still be considered as three tables or one table? So, were the teenagers fined because they did not have a tablecloth covering the tables?

I find the ruling about not allowing tables to be joined just absurd. All that matters is that the diners are at a suitable distance apart.

The teenagers sat two to a table as required and they were more than a metre apart. So, what rules have they broken?

Plain Simple: This is the best comedy of the year. Imagine a driver stops his car at the petrol station to rush to the toilet.

Upon reaching the toilet, there's a guard with the temperature device asking him to scan Mysejahtera first and the guard then takes his temperature.

The rest is history with the guard being sprinkled with a liquid of 36.5 degrees Celcius… not only from the driver but from the other drivers who have to queue up. 

Please, government leaders, do things properly and use some brains.

Blue Mountains: CMCO = Continuously Making Confusing Orders.

One minute must scan; next minute no need to scan; then must scan again. It looks like Malaysians are being led by some half-past-six people.

GrayEagle1983: MCO = Make confusing Order

CMCO = Continue Making Confusing Order

EMCO = Even More Confusing Order

RMCO = Repeatedly Making Confusing Order
