PETALING JAYA:
Police are proposing that Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor, better known as Neelofa, and her husband be issued compounds for violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) at their wedding.

Dang Wangi police chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah said this after the police completed its probe on the celebrity couple’s wedding, Berita Harian reported.

They have since handed over their investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor (DPP).

“However, the DPP will decide whether they are to be charged or not,” the Malay daily quoted him as saying.

Police initiated a probe into the alleged breach of SOPs last month under Section 21A of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342).

Zainal had previously said their probe found that the ceremony failed to comply with the prescribed SOPs, while social distancing was not observed.

The actress-turned-entrepreneur married televangelist Haris Ismail, better known as PU Riz in an elaborate ceremony at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur on March 27.

Neelofa has since apologised for violating SOPs at her wedding and for visiting Langkawi despite interstate travel being prohibited.
