KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has accepted and will pay the fine for violating Covid-19 regulations set by the Health Ministry during the DAP annual congress last Sunday, his political secretary Syahredzan Johan said today.
Syahredzan, who is also a lawyer, confirmed that the Health Ministry had issued a compound notice for the offence to Lim, without stating the amount to be paid. “Referring to the tweet by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin today, I can confirm that a compound notice was indeed issued by the Health Ministry to Iskandar Puteri MP Sdr Lim Kit Siang. The said notice was delivered to the home of one of his family members in Petaling Jaya and duly accepted.
“Sdr Lim Kit Siang will comply with the notice and accordingly settle the compound in due course,” Syahredzan said in a statement. Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin had earlier tweeted that a RM1,000 fine had been issued against Lim for hugging party members during DAP’s 17th National Congress last weekend when the veteran announced his retirement from politics.
