We’ve been battling the COVID-19 pandemic together for almost a year now so basic Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are second nature to us Malaysians.
Wearing a facemask correctly, practising social distancing, washing or sanitising hands frequently, and checking in MySejahtera wherever we go are some of the things we do on a daily basis.
However, on Wednesday a video of a group of law enforcers conducting checks at a supermarket or convenient store went viral after a policeman said wearing gloves were a breach of the SOPs.
No gloves, get RM1,000 fine
The policeman was seen telling off a woman for not wearing gloves and asked her to wear a pair immediately.Okay so now gloves is mandatory? pic.twitter.com/g8vPDdX3xH— z (@fundoelous) January 20, 2021
He then issued a RM1,000 compound to the woman for “not wearing gloves, not checking temperatures.”
Netizens were left in a state of confusion and were fuming as to when wearing gloves were compulsory.
Some were upset that the same treatment wasn't given to ministers and politicians who clearly breached plenty of SOPs.
ni lah masalah yg berlaku. anggota sendiri pun pening lalat. patut kena brief anggota2 ni. DG sendiri tak galakkan pakai glove. memandai2 buat SOP sendiri. harap dia dikenakan tindakan tatatertib supaya jadi pengajaran buat anggota2 lain yang berlagak tapi x faham apa itu SOP.— NOLACHELAP ?? ??

Alangkah bagusnya klau "garang" mcm nie bleh tegur &kompaun menteri2 bangsat yg x ikut SOP. Tapi nk buat mcm mane rakyat dihukum dgn undang2 dua darjat.— #Wewenang Rakyat~ (@mofazr1) January 20, 2021

Apa benda SOP ni, Sejak bila glove termasuk 3 benda yang wajib tu?— Mhd Hzqmzln ?? (@_hzqmzln) January 20, 2021
Senior Minister Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob also replied to the viral video and said that there were no SOPs on wearing gloves.Dah setahun COVID-19 ni tapi SOP masih x clear. Sikit2 saman rakyat. VIPs langgar SOP depa buat buta & pekak ja— Hika Yasmin (@HikaYasmin) January 20, 2021
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has rubbished claims that wearing gloves would help prevent COVID-19 infection.Tiada SOP pakai glove!— Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) January 20, 2021
“You can still pick up COVID-19 contamination on rubber gloves. If you then touch your face, the contamination goes from glove to your face and can infect you.”
WHO also urged people to regularly wash their bare hands, which offer more protection then wearing rubber gloves.Perhaps our Senior Minister should also mention this in his upcoming daily press conference in other to clear the confusion.
