Pas has described the issue of the failure of Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Datuk Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali to comply with the mandatory quarantine procedure, as no longer important.

The party's deputy president, Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, said it was because no cluster was triggered due to the actions of Mohd Khairuddin, who is also a member of PAS Central Committee.

"He has no clusters, not that he has clusters ... he follows all the swab tests ... he pays the compound ... he has no clusters.

"He (has) been fined and (made) a sacrifice (with) him deducting all his salary (for four months) ... it should not be an issue ... it is better we focus on those who have clusters," he said when asked to comment on the issue involving Mohd Khairuddin which until now is still a debate, especially on social media.

On Saturday, the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a statement informed that Mohd Khairuddin had been compounded RM1,000 on August 7 for failing to comply with the mandatory quarantine SOP for 14 days after returning from Turkey on July 7.

The compound was imposed because Mohd Khairuddin was found to have committed an offence under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342), and he has also paid the compound.
