SIBU: Nine men including a senior citizen, were fined RM1,000 each for not complying with physical distancing during a recovery movement control order (RMCO) monitoring last Monday (Nov 30).

District police chief ACP Stanley Jonathan Ringgit said they were found violating the RMCO standard operating procedure (SOP) at an eatery at Jalan Foochow around 11.15pm.
