State Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said today the decision was made by the Penang Security Council Committee (JKKN) which he chaired in the morning.
“State government had also looked into over 95 per cent public feedback, which highlighted their concern over the matter.
The meeting also took note of the social distancing factors and also a possibility of it triggering a new (Covid-19) cluster.
