He said the Selangor police has already called up the organisers for questioning, and now are in the process of completing their investigation to be submitted to the Attorney General’s Chambers.

“I acknowledge there are SOP violations in the video.

On the same day Shah Alam police chief Baharudin Mat Taib said that the group was believed to have attended a leadership course at the hotel at the time.

He said a police report on the breach was received after the complainant alleged that the women were seen dancing without wearing face masks or maintaining social distancing.

Baharudin said police had commenced investigations into the case for unlawfully or negligently doing any act that is likely to spread the infection of any disease dangerous to life under Section 269 of the Penal Code and for the non-compliance of the MCO SOPs.
