It has been reported in Malay Mail today (April 15) that the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar mentioned that the "drive-thru" Ramadan bazaar proposal should not be enforced in Johor as he concerned about the close contact during this implementation, traffic problem and the possibility of a new COVID-19 cluster.

“I am worried that if the proposal is implemented, there will be the issue of road congestion and this will further burden traffic enforcement teams. In fact, it is very difficult to also guarantee the risk of close contact, and if new clusters arise, how do we control the virus?” said Sultan Ibrahim on his official Facebook page, as reported in Malay Mail.
He stated in the post that all front liners are working hard to carry out their duties to eradicate the outbreak.
The Sultan, too, urged Johorian to be patient and persistent during this third phase of the Movement Control Order (MCO)
“Patience is half of our faith. Please be patient and do not violate the MCO. Make sure you only go out if there is a very good reason to do so. I myself have also remained here and am not going anywhere. So, I understand the frustration of not being able to do my daily routine,” he further disclosed in his post.
