KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 — Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar and 14 others escaped charges for breaching the movement control order after the Attorney General’s Chambers instructed no further action into the case, said Terengganu state police chief Datuk Roslee Chik.
Ahmad said the mentri besar had arrived at his home to discuss several matters on aid distribution while volunteers from the Kijal state constituency were there arranging items to be handed out.“The important people there is the YB mentri besar and the former mentri besar; the rest of the people who attended the gathering, the DPP decided not to charge them,” he said referring to the deputy public prosecutor.
This comes as Deputy Health Minister I Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali, Perak executive councillor Razman Zakaria, and 13 other individuals were fined RM1,000 each by the Gerik Magistrate’s Court in Perak today. They were punished after all 15 pleaded guilty to defying the MCO by attending a lunch gathering in Lenggong on April 17.
