In a statement, district police chief Anuar Omar said a police report was lodged last night over the family’s alleged get-together at a house in Pinggir Zaaba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur.

“Initial investigations found that the 26-second viral video was uploaded onto the Instagram account of the local celebrity’s sister,” he said.

He added that the case was being investigated under Rule 17 of the Prevention and Control of Infections Diseases Ordinance 2021.

This comes amid criticism on social media over a Malaysian celebrity and entrepreneur for allegedly violating Covid-19 rules, after her sister uploaded a clip of their family members greeting each other on the first day of Hari Raya.

District deputy police chief Basri Sagoni clarified that this case was a different one from the one being conducted by the Ampang Jaya police, who are also probing another celebrity and 12 of her family members for gathering during Hari Raya.
