Neelofa and Husband Charged for MCO Violations During Nilai 3 Shopping Trip

Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor and her husband, Haris Ismail, were charged in the Magistrate's Court in Seremban on May 20 for violating Movement Control Order (MCO) standard operating procedures during a trip to Nilai 3. The charges stemmed from their alleged failure to register their details when entering a premises and, in Haris Ismail's case, an additional charge for not wearing a face mask. Neelofa claimed trial to the charge of failing to register her presence, while her husband faced the same charge along with a charge for not wearing a face mask.
Failure to Register Entry Details

Neelofa was charged with failing to register her details, either through the MySejahtera application or manually, before entering the premises at Naeem Carpet store in Nilai 3. This procedural violation is a common requirement under MCO regulations to facilitate contact tracing efforts. She pleaded not guilty to this charge and posted bail of RM 5,000.
Husband Charged with Similar Offence and Mask Violation

Haris Ismail, also known as PU Riz, was charged with the same offence as Neelofa for failing to register his details upon entering the carpet store. Additionally, he was charged with not wearing a face mask, another breach of the MCO's health and safety directives. He posted bail of RM 5,000 for each of the two offences he faced.
Interstate Travel Allegations

The incident in Nilai 3 occurred on May 2, when it was alleged that the couple travelled interstate to purchase rugs, despite existing travel bans aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19. While the Attorney General's Chambers decided not to prosecute them specifically for crossing state lines for this purpose, the subsequent charges were related to their conduct within the premises. Photos uploaded by Neelofa on Instagram Stories showed them shopping for carpets at the Naeem Carpet store.
