BUTTERWORTH: The Apollo wet market in Jalan Raja Uda here remained vibrant with stalls crowded with people in the morning despite word that the army would be arriving to assist the police in enforcing the movement control order (MCO).

A check by The Star found that no enforcement personnel were present at the market and market-goers went about their shopping as usual as early as 8am yesterday.
