The first day of the two-week movement control order saw a big drop in the number of people at shopping malls and tourist attractions.
A rough analysis on crowds at these locations using the"popular times" feature in Google Maps found the number of people in the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur's Suria KLCC was down 74% at 2pm yesterday, compared to the same time on a typical Wednesday.
The footfall analysis was done on a sample of 17 randomly selected popular locations throughout the country.This is possibly due to the fact that these sectors fall within essential services that are operating as usual during the MCO that started yesterday and ends on March 31. Others with smaller drops include the HSBC bank in Jalan 52/2, as well as the Road Transport Department office , both of which are located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
