KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — I don’t know why it’s even a thing, but there is a viral video from a social media personality showing him wearing a pink tag while eating at a restaurant. However, at the end of the video you’ll see them reveal that it was a prank.

Pink wristbands are used for those placed under quarantine for 14 days. There had been a few cases of people who should have been quarantined but were caught out — including a woman who was caught eating out in Meru Raya, Ipoh.

In a press conference where Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was asked about videos like that, he said that action could be taken against them. He said that there are two wrongdoings that the prankster has made.

“If it was a real situation where he needed to be quarantined and he went out with a pink wristband, there would be consequences. It is also wrong to pull a prank using the pink wristband to scare others,” said the senior minister. - malaymail
