Customers are staying away from eating out despite businesses now being allowed to operate until midnight.

Among them is Syed Abu Thahir Abu Seeni Pakir, 38, who has been running a food stall at the Penang Island City Council Astaka in Larut Road for the past one year.“However, people are still afraid to come out because of Covid-19. Even though some restrictions have been relaxed, people are still opting to stay at home.

“My business has dropped by 70% and for the past few weeks, I have not been able to pay my staff their salary.Restaurateur Datuk Salim Manshoor said it was still too early to assess the situation after the government relaxed the condition by extending the operating hours of eateries.“However, things may get worse if the pandemic cannot be controlled and more people are infected.

Some of the shops in Chulia Street were also seen not opening their business for a few days after experiencing fewer customers.
