SEREMBAN:
The case of celebrity couple Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor and her husband, Muhammad Haris Mohd Ismail, charged with violating SOPs during the conditional movement control order (CMCO) period, has been postponed to July.

Their lawyer, M Haresh, said case management was supposed to resume next Wednesday at the magistrates’ court here but was rescheduled due to an extension of the movement control order.

The court has fixed July 15 for next case management, he told Bernama.

On May 20, the couple pleaded not guilty to charges of violating Regulation 19 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures Within Infected Local Area) (Conditional Movement Control) (No.4) (Amendment) (No.12) Regulations 2021 at a carpet shop in Nilai near here on May 2.

They face a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both, if found guilty.

Haris, 26, was charged with two counts of failing to comply with SOPs – for failing to wear a face mask and also not scanning the MySejahtera application or writing his name in the registration book to check-in at Naeem Carpet Sdn Bhd, Nilai 3 Industrial Area, at 4pm on May 2.

Neelofa, 32, was charged with failing to scan the MySejahtera application or writing her name in the registration book to check-in at the same place and time.
