SIBU, Jan 30: Staying at home during this Movement Control Period (MCO) does not mean you can do anything that you like until you are creating nuisance to your neighbours.
This was what a 21-year-old man at Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce here found out at 1.15am today. He was fined RM1,000 for singing karaoke aloud.
A neighbour, unhappy that his sleep had been interrupted by him, called up the police MPV team.

Sibu district police chief ACP Stanley Jonathan Ringgit said the man confessed to making loud noise with his karaoke singing.

Separately three women, aged between 26 to 34, were also fined the same amount each for wandering aimlessly at Jalan Market area at 3.20am today.
