Jonker Walk's management deputy chairman Datuk Wira Gan Tian Loo said the manual registrations excluded those who registered via the MySejahtera app."Jonker Walk was flooded with more than 11,000 people only on Saturday.
"We had to control their entry after the crowd swelled at about 8pm," he said when interviewed here on Sunday . Gan said the authorities had no choice but to deny entry to some, especially those who were above 60-years-old. "We have six entry points at Jonker Walk and we had to provide new hardcover books to accommodate the huge crowd," he said."We never expected such a crowd and the visitors to the night market were the same numbers that were recorded pre-Covid-19 period," he said.
Melaka had witnessed traffic jams on Saturday and Sunday, a scene that was absent for almost four months since the start of the movement control order .
