COVID-19 | The Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) has shed light on the confusion surrounding the need to scan MySejahtera QR codes at petrol stations.
This comes after China Press yesterday reported that an individual was slapped with RM1,000 fine for failing to check-in with the MySejahtera application.
CPRC coordinator Jamal Abdul Nasir told Malaysiakini that it is compulsory to scan check-in with MySejahtera even if a person is not entering the convenience store at petrol stations.
"All customers who enter any premises including petrol pump/station are required to scan the MySejahtera QR code, check the body temperature, and wear a mask," he said in an email reply.
According to Jamal, this includes those who only pay for petrol using a credit card, go to the toilet, and pump tyres.
Yesterday, Bukit Aman CID deputy director Mior Mior Faridalathrash Wahid had clarified with China Press that it is mandatory to check-in with the MySejahtera app even if a person does not enter the convenience store at petrol stations, for contact tracing purposes.
Subsequently, two media outlets have reported clarifications from relevant parties on the matter which said that it is not compulsory to scan the MySejahtera QR code when fuelling a vehicle.
Free Malaysia Today wrote that the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) had clarified via an email response stating that the requirement is only for those who enter premises.
Similarly, Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) told The Star that the scanning is only needed when one enters the convenience store at petrol stations.
"What we were told is that we have to have the QR code and temperature screening upon individuals entering the shops, toilet and surau.
"Beyond that, there is no need," said its president Khairul Annuar Abdul Aziz. - Mkini
