KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — The sports organisers are urged to adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOP) that has been outlined by the National Security Council (NSC).
State executive councillor for youth development and sports Mohd Khairuddin Othman said it is important that no conflict would arise between the organisers and authorities.
“Sports events should continue within the scope that has been approved, therefore I urge the organisers to take note of the SOP to avoid being compounded.
“I would also like to appeal to the authorities to review the matter in detail with the organisers if there have been issues on failure to comply with the SOP,” he said yesterday in response to the RM20,000 compound issued to the motorsport organiser at an event at the Sepang International Circuit in Sepang, on Friday night.
The organiser, MUSC Motorsports, was reported to have been issued permission to run the event but had failed to ensure spectators complied with Covid-19 prevention SOP.
