MCM take initiative to remind public to follow SOP at mkt

IPOH, Apr 18: Perak Muslim Clown Malaysia (MCM) group has taken the initiative to ensure compliance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to curb the Covid-19 outbreak by placing four clowns at the Taman Jati Ramadan Bazaar near Ipoh, reports Bernama.
MCM representative Nazirah Abd Rahman, 43, told reporters the group was motivated to conduct the physical distancing and compliance campaign following concerns expressed by netizens on social media that many visitors failed to follow the set SOP that have led some of the markets to face closure order.
"When I watch the news and read (postings) on social media there are bazaars that are closed for not complying with the SOP, I don't want it to happen here," she said.
"Our main mission is to ensure that visitors comply with the SOP so that there is no Ramadan market cluster," she explained.
Besides reminding members of the public to observe the physical distancing rule, the clowns also distribute free face masks and ensure the public to record their details at the market entrance.
Nazirah noted it was the first awareness campaign of such nature in Ipoh and it would be continued at other markets in the state.
