In Penang, tourists continue to bask in the sun, oblivious to Movement Control Order

Thursday, 19 Mar 2020 08:22 PM MYTA few tourists are seen walking along the beach in Batu Ferringhi, March 19, 2020. ― Pictures by Sayuti Zainudin

A couple from Switzerland, Philipp and Cornelia Kasper, who were in the Batu Ferringhi beachfront, said they had nothing else to do. A check along the popular beaches along Batu Feringghi such as the stretch along Golden Sands Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel showed that all watersports activities were closed and all retail stalls selling souvenirs and beach wear were also closed.

MBPP watersports activities unit senior assistant enforcement officer Azhar Isahak said there are at least two enforcement officers in each zone to ensure that the MCO is adhered to. The police had also set up a roadblock along Batu Ferringhi road to remind people that they should be staying home. Two of them, Melina Stehle and Emily Henkel, were unaware that they were not supposed to be outside of their hotel room.
