MIRI: Miri mayor Adam Yii has called on the police to not be too excessive when RM1,000 fines to members of the public caught for simple acts of ignorance, such as not writing their full names when dining in at eateries. He told The Star on Sunday (Aug 2) that he had raised the matter with the State Disaster Relief Management Committee office in Miri. "There have been complaints from the public here of overly-harsh acts by the police when they issue compounds related to the Covid-19 SOPs here in Miri. I have asked the Disaster Relief Committee and the police to review the manner in which they issue the compounds," he said. The police are helping the Health Department to enforce Covid-19 prevention SOPs to battle the second wave of infections that have hit Sarawak.
