For the second time in less than a year, there was no hustle and bustle of big crowds and traffic.

Like a replay of the first movement control order last March, everything was calm and orderly as the police cordoned off part of the road near the market.

“Usually, my customers come in their motorcycles to take away their food. Now, they can’t, ” he said.“Some customers decided not to come here as they have to park their car quite far away from the market. George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong said they put up barricades – one at the junction of Jalan Ayer Itam and Jalan Balik Pulau and another at the junction of Jalan Paya Terubong and Jalan Kampung Pisang – to prevent movement of vehicles in the vicinity of the market.“Market-goers can park their vehicles outside the barricades and walk to the market, ” he said.

“Previously, we had around 90 permanent and mobile stalls. I urge the public to adhere to the standard operating procedures to break the chain of Covid-19 transmission.
