A married couple have been arrested over a purported "social experiment" of entering a few shops without being fully vaccinated.

Previously, a screenshot from a Facebook account believed to be the woman involved, stated that they were doing a social experiment to see if they'd be able to dine-in and enter shops despite not being fully vaccinated. 

She seemed proud of their doings and claimed that they successfully entered several retail outlets, including a restaurant for dine-in without facing much of an issue. 

The couple, who also brought their young child along with them were heavily criticized by the public. 

South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Shamsul Amar Ramli said the couple, aged 35 and 36 years old respectively, were detained at a house in Bandar Putera 2 at about 5pm Monday (Aug 23)

"We are investigating under Section 269 and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, Section 22 (b) of the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act 1988 and Section 233 of the Malaysian Communication Commission Act," he said in a statement on Tuesday (Aug 24).

He urged the public to comply with all Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) to curb the spread of the virus.
