A man who was seen wearing a white wristband at a convention centre last week was fined RM2,500 by the Magistrate’s Court in Balik Pulau today for violating a quarantine order.
Magistrate Khalijah Mohd Khalid meted out the fine on factory technician, S Ramesh Kumar, 42, who pleaded guilty to the charge.
The offence was committed at the Spice Arena Convention Centre, Bayan Baru at 5.45pm on Aug 7.
He was charged under Section 22(b) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 with disobeying an order under Section 15 (1) of the same law, which provides imprisonment for up to two years, or fine, or both.
Deputy public prosecutor Rais Imran Hamid prosecuted, while Ramesh Kumar was represented by lawyer Edmund Anthony Hermon.
