After all the 'perutusan', news, memes, TikTok videos and other forms of public service announcements, people are still stubborn and refuse to adhere by the Movement Control Order (MCO).
So much so that the police were forced to patrol the streets and have road blocks set up to make sure people don't misuse the leeway that the MCO allows.
A man in Sungai Petani, Kedah were one of the many who just don't seem to get what social distancing is all about and as a result, he got arrested for it.
Man got aggressive
Now, the police are not unreasonable.
According to New Straits Times, the man and several others were gathered outside a place of worship when the police approached them.
When the group was asked to disperse, others did it but this man decided to go against the police and he allegedly got aggressive.

The man was reportedly arrested under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing the work of a public servant. If convicted, he could be spending two years in jail, fined up to RM10,000 or both.
He might also be investigated under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the local Infected Areas) Regulations 2020 for going against the MCO.
If he is found guilty, he could be spending up to six months in jail or pay a fine of up to RM1000.
So, guys, let this man's case be a lesson: please stay at home unless you have something important to do outside.
When you do go out, janganlah gather and lepak with your friends. Don't make a bad situation worse with your attitude.
