KUALA LUMPUR:Stern action including compounds may be imposed on employers or companies that violate the standard operating procedures (SOP) of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) such as holding staff meetings.
The matter was emphasised by Senior Minister (Defence Cluster), Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob due to the fact that there were employers who violate the CMCO SOP.
He explained that the work from home order is still in force and defaulting employers can be prosecuted.
"Regarding working from home, employers must comply with every instruction issued.
"If it involves government departments, comply with the guidelines issued by the Director-General of Public Service (KPPA), and the same goes for industries related to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
"If anyone still denies it, I will raise the matter to correct what is wrong.
"God willing, we will take action against those (employers) who disobey," he said at a daily press conference regarding the Movement Control Order, on Wednesday.
In the same press conference, Ismail Sabri said the rate of non-compliance with the standard operating procedure (SOP) of the Recovery Movement Control Order (PKPP) recorded was still at a high level.
The number of daily arrests and compounds issued by the special task force of compliance operations against individuals who violate SOPs and RMCO regulations were still in the three-digit range, lately.
Ismail Sabri said the enforcement officers have also detained and imposed a compound on almost 1,000 individuals a day for various offences of breaking the rules and violating the RMCO SOP.
In this regard, he said, all parties were advised to maintain personal and family safety by always complying with the SOP and practising self-control at all times.
"Of that number, the top three offences that are often reported daily remain unchanged, namely not wearing face masks in public places, premises failing to provide equipment and recording customer details as well as failing to comply with physical distancing," he said.
