The Malaysian MCO 2.0 (MALAYSIA’S second round of the Movement Control Order) started from Oct last year (2020) and recently prime minister announced to extend the MCO 2.0 to March 04 2021 as the number of cases still high in the country across all states.

Many Malaysians couldn't travel inter states and county, therefore many retail shops really having a big impact due to COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

Majority of retailers were also unable to operate at full capacity or at pre-Covid-19 level due to limited shoppers and shorter operational hours, among others.

When the MCO was reimplemented, the general public started to avoid crowded and enclosed places.

This fear has caused a significant drop in shopping traffic as much as 60% at most of the shopping and commercial centres.

From the footage as you seen the retail shops in Melaka Malaysia really quiet and almost empty of customers.

Video from Feb 19 was captured at Freeport Afamosa Outlet Alor Gajah, Melaka, Malaysia.
