Brickfields police in Kuala Lumpur arrested a 66-year-old man wearing a pink Covid-19 quarantine wristband who had been seen at a condominium lobby in Mont Kiara last Thursday.

“A check found the man had just returned from Singapore and had been placed under the 14-day mandatory quarantine from July 12 to Aug 1,” a police spokesman said.

The man said he was in the lobby to collect his letters from the condominium mailbox.

In Tawau, a man was fined RM1,000 for taking off his quarantine wristband at KLIA before boarding a flight home, and another RM1,000 for cheating on his health declaration form.

District officials said the man had a history of travelling to Japan and had returned to Malaysia earlier this month.
