After months and several rounds of Movement Control Order (MCO), as well as multiple people getting caught leaving their homes while wearing the "pink band", some still choose to commit the same offence.
On 4 November 2020, Facebook page Info Roadblock JPJ/Police shared a post on a woman being caught by RELA members for breaking quarantine.
Caught in town wearing pink bracelet
According to the post, the woman was caught in Bayan Lepas, Penang by RELA members.
RELA then informed the Health Department, which sent some of its officers to the scene.
It's quite interesting that the person is seen to be wearing her mask properly and all, but forgot to stay home until her pink band was removed.
Netizens are angry
Despite multiple cases of people wearing the pink band getting fined and even jailed, some don't seem to get the seriousness of the issue.Remember the Nasi Kandar owner who caused the Sivagangga cluster? That's how bad things can get if someone breaks the quarantine rule.
Some netizens decided that this was a good time to remind others of the severity of the issue and even added helpful information on what to do if you see someone with a pink band in public.
Dah brapa kali pkpb, masih ada otak bebal mcm ni. Elok tangkap, sebat. Otak letak mana tah.

Do people not realise how high the COVID-19 cases are now? Can we all not be stupid and just stay home whenever possible and especially when we should?
