Think twice before panic buying, says officials in Brunei


BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Sept 26 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Village heads have urged the public to remain calm and not to panic buy, after recent concerns of a total lockdown following the rising number of Covid-19 cases.

Acting Village Head of Kampong Berakas ‘B’ Azizi Fakhri Noor Azalie said when he heard the statement from Minister of Health Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohd Isham Jaafar during the daily press conference explaining the details of a full lockdown, he knew there would be panic buying “just like during the first wave”.
