As of time of writing, Malaysia is currently dealing with more than 5,500 cases of people who’ve contracted the Covid-19 virus.
Before we even got to that level, and subsequent enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) though, there were already rumours spreading of a possible food shortage.
That was enough to send many citizens on a mad scramble to buy anything and everything in a panic (yes, even the inedible items like toilet rolls and bleach were not spared).
And now, with the MCO in full swing for over a month, with some people’s supplies running low… well, it’s safe to say that people are soon going to be stocking up once again, to get through this.
