The Penang Island City Council in a statement today said it viewed the non-compliance as a serious matter and took immediate steps to close the market.
“MBPP will continue to monitor business activities throughout the island and will not hesitate to take action against any market, supermarket or business premises which do not adhere to MCO directives,” the statement read. Scenes of a large crowd at the market, with many not adhering to the social distancing requirement, has gone viral on social media since yesterday. –- BERNAMA
