While most entrepreneurs face an uphill battle as they navigate through the MCO to hold on through their business and support their employees, F&B operators and food delivery services were quick to adapt to the situation and seize the opportunity. For Nasi Ayam Baba Restaurant in Melaka, it has been receiving high volume of orders for delivery services even before the MCO.

“I have 20 staff in total at the two branches and I am afraid that I cannot afford to pay my employees because the raw material cost is very high,” he added. “Unfortunately, not all landlords give a discount or rebate, hence, it did not help when everything have shifted to only delivery. Our margin has shrunk and we had just enough to pay back ourselves a little more,” he said.“The team is really stretched and they might get tired and sick because they need to complete a large volume of orders. If we are working so hard just to earn a little bit, it doesn’t seems worth it,” he added.

Keeping in step with Ahmad Shukri, Chin said he would also be taking the SRF to weather the storm for another two months. Therefore, he said there will be some forms of negative side effects as the government priority is to suppress and break the chain of Covid-19 spread.
