From Sunday (April 12), anyone flouting the circuit breaker measures will be fined $300 right away, said Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli on Saturday in a Facebook post.

He said that on Saturday, enforcement officers reported that there were still too many who were not taking the measures seriously.

More than 3,000 written stern warnings were issued, as well as more fines.

Stiffer penalties are clearly needed," said Mr Masagos.

"From (Sunday), we will no longer issue written warnings. Any offender encountered by our enforcement officers will be asked for (their) particulars immediately," he added.

First-time offenders will be fined $300 and repeat offenders will face higher fines or prosecution in court for egregious cases.

Previously, first-time offenders were issued a written warning, while second-time offenders fined $300, and those nabbed a third time then charged in court.
