What is the point of having a curfew when people are still gathering? Malaysia has been imposing very strict laws. People were fined RM$1,000 for even removing masks for a few seconds publicly. People were fined for not scanning their My Sejahtera app when entering a business premise. Many shops/business were not allowed to operate. Yet they still failed in bring the Covid cases down.
