JOHOR BAHRU – The rainy spell is proving to be a bane to traders and street vendors, with many reporting losses.
“We have over 200 stalls with a variety of offerings such as food and drinks, clothes, accessories and other interesting items,” he said.Mr Fuad said storms with strong winds were causing the number of visitors to dwindle, adding that there was not enough shelter as business was conducted in the open.
“The decline of the crowd can be up to 50 per cent, depending on the rain’s intensity. If the rain persists, traders usually do not even open their stalls,” he lamented. He added the association was advising the traders to be alert and vigilant on directives issued by the authorities as the monsoon intensifies.“We have advised them to shut their stalls if the situation turns bad, and move on to an online platform we have provided, or through their respective social media channels,” he added.
