Top cop: Police have no power to change RM10k amount when issuing fines

The RM10,000 compound which will be imposed on those found violating the movement control order (MCO) and health SOPs can be lessened through an appeal at Health Department district offices, said Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador.

He said police issuing the compounds do not have the power to reduce the amount of the fine as their only duty is to issue the compound to the offender.
