18 March: Day 1 Of MCO (Movement Control Order) In Ipoh - Quick Drivethru

At Canning Garden shops ..... only the food shops were open 

Did a quick drive through on day 1 of the MCO yesterday around 5pm. Just checked out the usual busy places that i was familiar with. Started with the Canning Garden shops. Found the diners open ....

waiting for customers....at the Hollywood junction   ...

...but were waiting for customers. Maybe i went out too early to catch the dinner crowd.

On Tambun Road 

Onwards to town. Tambun Road (Jln Raja DiHilir) was sparse with a smattering of vehicles ....

.....all the way through.

Jalan Panglima  ...

Headed to Jalan Panglima and towards Concubine Lane. It followed orders and was shut. 

At thejunction on Jln Panglime and Jln Bijeh Timah 

Wonderfully quiet for a change 

Concubine Lane 

...... especially at Concubine Lane ..... 

Like so .... and unlike what it used to be 

What it was like at Kafe Yoon Wah.

Spotted some murals i had not seen before

......then back to Brewster Road ....which was just as deserted ...

....and so too was the Polo Ground ....with only a dozen senior citizens doing exercise walks alone and all spread out not clustered.

Verdict: All in order. Can it be maintained. We'll see. 

The most frequent people who passed by the whole way was the Grab, Food Panda and Runner food delivery guys. Thankfully there was a service that took care of the stay-at-home rakyat.
