KOTA KINABALU: A 58-year-old farmer in Ranau was caught at a cockfight and nine youths were detained for taking part in a sepak takraw game in violation of the movement control order.

A total of 40 people had been arrested so far in Sabah for MCO offences.

Sabah police commissioner Zaini Jass said there were other people at the cockfighting session where the farmer was arrested, but they managed to escape.

He said the 9 youths were playing sepak takraw despite being aware of the stay-home directive. They were caught at Kampung Wonod in Telupid on Sunday night.

Zaini said eight people were detained after they refused to turn back on orders by the police as they were travelling in two vehicles towards Beaufort.

“We have advised everybody to observe the MCO, don’t think that because they are in the interior, they can violate the order,” he said after attending a national security meeting chaired by chief minister Shafie Apdal, today.

Overall, Zaini said public compliance with the MCO has reached 95%. “It is under control, there is not much problem,” he said. Residents in Kota Belud had been the best to adhere to the MCO while Labuan the lowest.

Disappointingly, there are still loyar-buruks who refused to heed the orders of the police to "turn back" even when a MCO is in force. I wonder whether there could have been a cardio specialist among the eight people in the two vehicles heading towards Beaufort? Wakakaka.

The photo above shows several 'fighting' cocks seized by the police. I wonder what will happen to them?

  • Police hand them over to the RSPCA who then hand then to ...???
  • Police jail the fowls for a while after which they will be return to their owners?
  • Police donate them to some charitable organisations and consequentially in the latter's cooking pots?

  1. KT is obviously not the head of his household; he must be the "hen" ha ha ha...he doesn't know that fighting male cockrels don't make good chicken curry, meat is too tough.

    For chinese herbal soup ok.

    1. only a Chinese belief which my late mum shared; but I don't as I ate old cocks cooked in curry wakakaka - when you are as poor as I was, you deemed it lucky to be eating any chicken, old or spring chooks - as a kid I ate chooks only twice a year, CNY eve and on chengbeng (but only after my late ancestors had "ate" it, wakakaka)
