RECENTLY, most right-thinking Malaysians were shocked by revelations that several traders had been slapped with RM50,000 fines for violating Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP). Every story has a flip side, and the least we can do is to refrain from prematurely jumping to conclusions. Dribs and drabs of information have now surfaced, including allegations that this is not the trader’s first violation. Or do we prefer the “high” of being whipped into a frenzy by getting on our so-called “moral high horse”? By allowing others to press our buttons without us verifying the truth, we stand to demoralise these frontliners.
