KUCHING, June 30 ― Allowing eateries to operate from 6am to 10pm would not solve the main troubles beleaguering the food and beverage industry in Sarawak, said business owners.
“It is generally of no effect to the industry. If possible, it’s best to allow customers to dine in again. Speaking on behalf of the association, Hu expressed hope that there would be more subsidies or financial aid for those in the restaurant business to tide over these difficult times. “For many operators of eateries, business volume is still the same but they still have to incur more expenses like workers’ pay, utilities, and also time. Now all these are depending on regular customers, not walk-ins.
