Malaysians are now getting used to new normal practices, which includes social distancing in public.
Most people would find it challenging since we are used to going to the mall to meet with friends or enjoy a day out with our family.
Recently a local mall, Sunway Pyramid shared on their Facebook page, a rather creative way to encourage people to practice social distancing, by using mannequins - and to help people not to feel so lonely when they are out shopping.
Mannequins were placed around the mall on benches to make sure that only one person is able to sit, and of course, they are sanitised frequently too!
“Look who came out from the stores to join everyone in the New Normal practice”
The mannequins are positioned differently at every bench and they are dressed nicely, which shoppers can also purchase the outfits that are displayed from retailers within the shopping mall.
People have found the idea interesting and were hoping that Sunway Pyramid would keep the mannequins until after the MCO, so that they won’t feel lonely when they go out shopping alone.

Some find it a little scary, that the mannequins are faceless and are just sitting there “staring” at them.

Well, this is one creative way we could ensure that people are practicing social distancing when they’re out and about.
Stay safe, everyone!
