KOTA KINABALU: Four men paid the price for defying the stay at home order after they were caught singing at a karaoke outlet at Towering in Penampang, near here, last night.
One of the men was the shop owner who found himself in further trouble as he was operating the establishment without a business licence.
Penampang police chief Mohd Haris Ibrahim said a police team on patrol duty heard noises coming from one of the outlets in the area at 9.50pm.
“The team went to check and found the music blaring and the men singing away in one of the rooms.
“They were arrested for violating the MCO,” he said, adding that police also seized the karaoke system and RM1,300.
Haris said police have submitted their investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor’s office for further action.
