JOHOR BARU: A drive-through Ramadan bazaar concept is not viable in Johor as the risk of Covid-19 infection is too high, says Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
"I am worried that if drive-through Ramadan bazaars are held, there will be traffic congestion that would further burden enforcement teams on duty.
"In fact, it will be harder to reduce close contact – and if there is a new cluster, how are going to control this virus?" Sultan Ibrahim said in a statement on his official Facebook page.
Earlier, Sultan Ibrahim received an audience from Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad and state secretary Datuk Azmi Rohani.
His Majesty also urged those in Johor to continue being patient and resilient in facing the movement control order (MCO), which is now entering its third phase.
"Patience is a part of iman. Please be patient and do not oppose the MCO. Make sure that you only go out if required.
"I have been staying in and not gone anywhere, so I understand how uncomfortable it is not going through a normal daily routine," said Sultan Ibrahim.
