Bukit Aman CID director Huzir Mohamed said three cases were still under investigation and two have been categorised as no further action because they were on official duty and had adhered to the standard operating procedures set.

“As for the rest, they have been compounded and have paid the fine,” he told reporters after officiating the Nilai district police headquarters here today.

He said the breach in SOPs among others involved a cycling programme officiated by the local government and housing minister Zuraida Kamaruddin; interstate travel to attend a wedding; and a visit to the Sendayan military camp by senior minister of security Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Another case was that of former prime minister Najib Razak who reportedly did not scan the MySejahtera code and record his body temperature at a restaurant on March 19. The investigation paper is still with Bukit Aman JSJ prosecution and legal division.

He said on the cycling programme officiated by Zuraida, who was alleged to have breached the SOPs, the Brickfields district police chief had confirmed that the event was organised with permission and had complied with the SOPs.

“On the case involving Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri, we will get a statement from the event organiser. It was an official visit but because reports were lodged, we will still record statements,” he said.

As for the case involving several VIPs who had travelled from the Klang Valley to Negeri Sembilan to attend a wedding at a hotel on March 14, Huzir said police yesterday recorded statements from the hotel management and more statements would be recorded soon.

On another matter, Huzir said last year, the country’s crime index was down by 24% or 65,623 cases compared with 83,475 cases in 2019. Among the factors for the drop was the implementation of the MCO.

“During the MCO, movement was limited, enforcement personnel including the police and the armed forces were everywhere and there were ongoing operations,” he said.
