MSBs managing director, Maggie, instructed her workers, Mee and Beehun to deliver the frozen creampuff to Kelantan using a trailer. At the same time, Maggie also ordered Mee and Beehun to send 200 boxes of cookies to his brother in Kelantan. After three (3) hours of travel, Mee and Beehun had to stop as the East Coast Expressway was closed to all traffic under the Movement Control Order (MCO) due to COVID 19 pandemic. They were told that the Expressway would be closed for at least two (2) weeks. Mee and Beehun contacted Maggie to inform her of the situation and for further instructions, unfortunately, to no avail. They tried to contact Maggies office but was told that Maggie who was in China for a meeting was stranded there due to the lockdown declared by the China government. They then sent a message to Maggies handphone, but Maggie was too busy to check it. During the delay, Mee and Beehun found the frozen creampuff was not in good condition.
