AN assemblyman has suggested the idea of creating a drive-through system to reduce crowds in Batu Lanchang Market in Penang.

Batu Lanchang assemblyman Ong Ah Teong said the move would ensure better crowd control following the closure notice issued to the market yesterday, the second time in less than 40 days due to Covid-19 cases.
