Some rush to stock up, others stay cool


Crowd control: Shoppers waiting for their turn to enter a supermarket in Ipoh.

IPOH: While some people joined long lines to stock up on essential items as they prepare for a stricter movement control order, others are cool about the situation, saying there is no need for panic buying, as has been proven in previous versions of the movement control order.

Even before the announcement placing Ipoh and other districts in the state under a 14-day enhanced MCO came on Thursday evening, there were already queues at several major supermarkets and hypermarkets here.
