A man was sentenced to 12 months in prison by the Magistrate’s Court in Shah Alam today for violating the movement control order (MCO) after ramming his motorcycle into a traffic policeman.

Shah Alam district deputy police chief Supt Ramsay Anak Embol said the 32-year old wireman was charged after he was detained on March 20 following the offence.

“The traffic policeman broke his ribs and sustained wounds on his face and leg after the man crashed into him," Ramsay said in the statement today.

“The man was not wearing a helmet during the incident. He was detained under Section 307 and 186 of the Penal Code and Rule 7 (1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020.” - Bernama
