How many Malaysians have signed the petition for stricter punishments?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nearly 18,000 Signatures Collected for Online Petition Demanding Stricter Penalties

An online campaign calling for more severe penalties, including jail time, for celebrity Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor and her husband has garnered close to 18,000 signatures. The petition, launched on the Change.org platform and directed at the police, specifically requests the imprisonment of Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor as a measure against perceived double standards in the application of Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Petition Demands Jail Time for Repeated SOP Violations

The online petition urges authorities to implement punishments that are considered appropriate for individuals who repeatedly contravene established SOPs. It highlights a perceived disparity in how the law is applied to the general public compared to celebrities and dignitaries. The signatories express a desire for the authorities to cease applying different standards based on an individual's status, advocating for consistent enforcement across the board.
Noor Neelofa and Husband Charged with SOP Breaches

Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor and her husband, Muhammad Hariz Mohd Ismail, were formally charged at the Seremban Court on May 2. These charges stem from alleged violations of SOPs, particularly after photographs of them shopping for carpets circulated widely on social media. The legal proceedings indicate a formal acknowledgement of the alleged breaches by the authorities.
Previous Fines and Controversies Surrounding the Couple

Prior to these charges, Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor had already been issued a compound on April 27. This compound was for failing to adhere to physical distancing guidelines during her wedding ceremony and for breaching interstate travel regulations. The couple, along with their families, incurred a total of RM 60,000 in fines for these earlier offenses. Further public attention was drawn when images emerged of the newlyweds engaged in watersports activities in Langkawi shortly thereafter, prompting investigations into whether this trip constituted a breach of SOPs, despite police initially stating the travel permit was for work purposes.
