JOHOR BARU, April 6 — Businesses such as sundry shops, convenience stores, eateries and even car wash outlets within the city had expected a large influx of Singaporean visitors last weekend after the Causeway finally reopened on Friday.
Before the lockdown, Susur Tun Razak was very popular as a supper and breakfast take-away destination for Singaporeans and also Malaysians working in Singapore. His bakery along Johor Baru’s Heritage Walk in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee is famous for banana cakes and before the pandemic, it was not uncommon to see long queues of customers waiting to get their hands on the tasty cakes.
A car wash operator along the popular “car wash street” of Jalan Datuk Abdullah Tahir said their business has picked up in the evenings since the reopening of the border. “It is convenient for them and most eateries here have a car wash outlet that is within walking distance along this street. However, Restoran Liang Chen's manager David Chan said his restaurant had a steady stream of Singaporean customers starting from Friday night, right up to Sunday night.
Indian-Muslim food outlet PS Indah proprietor Ali Ladoo shared Chan’s dilemma as he is struggling to meet his customers’ demands for longer operating hours. “Even some traders, who had earlier closed their business at the Pandan Wholesale Market due to the restrictions, are trying to make a comeback,” Mohammad Salezan toldHowever, Mohammad Salezan appealed to all traders to remain ethical. He cautioned against increasing the prices of goods and also services to take advantage of the influx of Singaporeans.
