KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 ― Police will record Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s statement over a video showing the former prime minister violating the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) at a restaurant in Bukit Bintang, here, yesterday.
The 39-second video, which has since gone viral, shows that Najib did not check his temperature and check-in via the MySejahtera application before entering the restaurant.
