RM10k fine: PN govt detached from people's hardship - Kit Siang

The Perikatan Nasional (PN) government's refusal to suspend the RM10,000 fine for movement control order (MCO) violations until its implementation problems are resolved shows that it is oblivious to the people's hardship, Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang said.
