IPOH: Four people have been issued compound fines for violating SOPs in conjunction with the Thaipusam celebrations.
Perak police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said the SOP violations were committed at the Sri Subramaniar Temple at Gunung Cheroh near here yesterday.
The individuals concerned did not wear face masks and had brought children aged 18 and below during the chariot procession.
“Though all went well during the procession yesterday, there were still some who remained defiant and did not adhere to the SOPs set.
“Those fined were not even participating in the prayer activities or the chariot procession.
“We also received information yesterday that certain parties had tried to carry kavadis, which has been banned during the celebration.
“I have instructed Ipoh district police chief Yahaya Hassan to take stern action against those still defying this rule,” he told a press conference at the Perak contingent police headquarters here today.
Mior Faridalathrash said 250 officers and personnel had been deployed to monitor the Thaipusam celebration today and the number will be increased as needed.
