The Air Itam market is one of the oldest markets in Penang island and is usually crowded even before the movement control order was put in place. “Although there is still a lack of compliance in terms of maintaining social distancing of one metre, the situation here is about 70 per cent better compared to the last few days,” he said.

Seriously people.. do you need to go to the pasar everyday! Just buy enough to last at least a week! Cook simple no big feasting so you don’t need too much raw ingredients!

Ape degil sangat orang penang nie

klubbkiddkl Kalau degil hantar ke Pulau Jerejak

penang dah sedia utk jadi lubuk covid19 ker?

Why can’t they just stay home 🤦🏻‍♂️

Should just force shutdown that place. Jail them. Quarantine them. Beat them with stick or pepper spray.

Yg ni kalau sakit, please jgn pandai nak pergi hospital

Ketua menteri penang mana? Tak usaha langsung suruh kaum dia dok diam dlm rumah. Lepaih tangan kpd polis. Kendian salahkan polis. Saja carik pasal!

Letak banner besaq2 tulis tulisan yg depa paham.. kalau Komuniti cina yg Tak paham Bahasa.. tulis Bahasa cina.. kalau melayu tulis Bahasa melayu.. kalau India tulis Bahasa Tamil.. kalau Tak paham jugak angkut terus.. tahan dlm lokap.. bagi cerdik sikit.

Bagi amaran lemah lembut dah ler..nanti dorang marah...dorang semua nak mampus cepat satu penang kena covid19 ?😷😷😷

dap supporters/leaders where art thou? i missed their comments on this bunch ke?

This will be the situation in the whole country if Pakatan Harapan was still Government. We will all be dead in two weeks. They can't even handle Penang. Bloody useless. chowkonyeow limkitsiang anthonyloke DrDzul hannahyeoh

Under dapmalaysia anything can. Just look at stupid Cardiologist they have!. No one condemned the Dr action.

Typical ... Made in China.!!

Send the army in. These people do not respect our laws.

Army and Police should go there

Omg

Where is their MP and Adun? Stubborn and sellfish.

Stupid, reckless, selfish people!!!

Kena tutup jambatan dan feri baru hangpa tau. Ketegaq.

What the heeccckk..

Degil nya..

akuluka

imfsea_aruna The MBPP and police should close all roads leading to the market. Issue queue tokens at the roadblock, and only permit limited number of vehicles to enter market areas and exit within an allocated time frame each period.

Bodoh.

teruk betul. ini semua dari tanah besar ke

Mayb later we just lock down penang.. senang nak kawal tutup jer bridge to.. degil sangat

Bodohnya lagi pekat dari dalgona coffee.

Hope ministers use their brain and say only online purchase, no market open, that's China style

Go ahead and don't listen 👍🏻👍🏻🙄🙄.

bodo siak pemakan bangkai

Mr chowkonyeow, please do something lah

Tak kena,belagak! Dah kena nnt mula la nak cari orang utk disalahkan!

Bodoh yg tiada rehat.

Now how retarded can 's reporters & editors get? Read your headline and evidently you're instigating hatred against Penangites for defying statutory decree. You might be surprised it didn't ban people from buying take away. Is expecting some starved to death?

Ehhh apa masalah orang Penang ni Korang kebal ke bebal? Aduhaii

Aint no cure for the stupidity being displayed here

ignorance..

My 11 yo had this to say about this news: you ignore the police, the virus won’t ignore you!

It is a heavy density area. The Air Itam market is an old traditional type. Very challenging to organise how to implement social distancing. The stalls are both inside small market and along the road. The city council has already issue order to close but... sigh

We are not fighting only with virus but also human stupidity and stubbornness

What virus?

These people are living on a different planet. I think that's what they think. Sigh.

I give up on these ppl I guess in their bird brains, they think they can't contract COVID19 until they do ... then menyusahkan orang lain

Kenapa degil ni hanat!!!!! Terencat ke semua tu?

Selfish people. Where's the police or Army?

Pls follow the RestrictedMovementOrderMY , need to send ATM to this area maybe only then they can follow. Covid_19

Close the damn market.
