Malaysiakini : Typical double standards when it comes to enforcement by the Police. These people are Suicidal, with Covid 19 rampaging.

Watching the video there is no social distancing. The Penang police have apologised for failing to prevent a gathering outside a mosque in Juru, Penang today. The gathering took place outside the Taman Pelangi mosque. Video clips of the incident suggested that the congregation were mostly well spaced out. At a press conference in Penang today, state police chief Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the cops apologised for failing to uncover plans to gather beforehand.

He estimated that there were 200 people at the gathering. "I also wish to use this opportunity to urge mosque caretakers to report violations of Covid-19 protocols if they see any through this hotline - 04-222-1722," Shuhaily said. He added that the police were aware of the need to fulfil religious obligations but Covid-19 protocols still need to be maintained.

Although Penang is now under Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan, there are still restrictions for gatherings at places of worship.
