Traders are grateful for the chance to set up physical stalls again, although many still keep online presence. FMTNews Bazaar Ramadan

Traders whom FMT spoke to were grateful they could set up physical stalls this year, given the ban on Ramadan bazaars in 2020.

FMT’s visits to bazaars in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Sarawak saw various stalls with banners advertising their social media accounts and asking customers to contact them on WhatsApp, suggesting that many had turned to e-commerce. “Last year, I didn’t make any profit because I was only selling online. Not many people knew about it. When I set up a physical stall, more people are aware and they come to buy my kuih,” he said.

While there were few customers on her first day at the bazaar, Jamila said she would continue to set up her stall and “see how it goes”. “It’s great to see and catch up with all my friends behind the stalls. We’re all one gang here,” she said.
