GEORGE TOWN: The Ayer Itam market will be closed to traffic starting at 6am Monday (March 30), says George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong.

He said police would put up two barricades - one outside the Ayer Itam police station and another at the Jalan Kampung Pisang-Jalan Paya Terubong junction - to prevent private vehicles from entering the vicinity."In this way, the authorities can manage the flow of people in the area.ACP Soffian said the closure to traffic was necessary after pictures of a sizeable crowd going about their shopping in the market have gone viral during the movement control order period.

He said this is also to ensure that the public can follow the social distancing rule and at the same time, the authorities can control the crowd at the market. He said closing down the market was not an option as it is the primary food source for some 250,000 people in Ayer Itam, Paya Terubong and Bandar Baru Ayer Itam.
