S'wak DCM to pay compound for not wearing mask

Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Awang Tengah Ali Hasan was reported to have said that he would pay the fine for failing to wear a facemask in public.

This was after a video showing him walking past a row of food and beverage stalls without a mask had gone viral on social media.

In the 25-second clip, he also appeared to be handing out RM50 each to five traders as he walked past and was given a drink from one of the stalls.
