The police have fined Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa for breaching Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) after he visited the Kuala Lumpur residence of former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
The minister's office was quoted by Astro Awani as saying that he will pay the fine as soon as possible.
"Regarding the visit of the minister to Bait Badawi, the residence of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on July 10, he has received a compound from the police and will settle it as soon as possible," it said.
However, his office did not state the compound amount.
Annuar, who is the Ketereh MP, drew flak after revealing his visit on Twitter. He has since deleted the post. House visits are banned during the current Covid-19 lockdown.
The following was posted on his Twitter account on July 10:
"Today, we as husband and wife took the opportunity to visit the honourable Tun Abdullah Badawi and the honourable Tun Jeane (sic) Abdullah at their residence in Bait Badawi, KL.
"Over two hours together and eating lunch cooked by Tun Jeane (sic). May Allah swt always bless Pak Lah and family."
In January, Annuar also generated controversy when he was seen walking outdoors with two others from a different household.
He later claimed to have met the two others by coincidence.
In February, he was also caught having a meal with a group of people even though dining-in was banned during the lockdown. - Mkini
