JOHOR BARU: Shops in Johor have yet to see their goods flying off the shelves despite reports of panic buying in Singapore recently. A check at several retail outlets here showed no indication of panic buying, either by Malaysians or foreigners. Panic buying of essential items was seen in Singapore after the island republic moved its Covid-19 alert to Code Orange last Friday. What Malaysians are complaining about is that face masks and hand sanitisers are running short across the country. “Thanks to the paranoid side of me, I bought face masks and hand sanitisers in bulk then,” she said.
