Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob should not downplay the conviction of Deputy Health Minister Noor Azmi Ghazali and Perak exco member Razman Zakaria for breaching the movement control order (MCO), said lawyer Syahredzan Johan.

He said they were charged for violating Regulation 6(1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within Infected Local Areas) (No 3) Regulations 2020.
