KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Muslims around the country today thronged markets, bazaars and shopping centres as they made final preparations to buy essential items in preparation to usher in the holy month of Ramadan beginning tomorrow.Shoppers and traders expressed gratitude and regarded the Ramadan month this time as more meaningful seeing that the country was now in the transition to endemic phase which has seen some standard operating procedures relaxed.
In SELANGOR, the Pasar Moden Section 6, Shah Alam was a hive of activity with its traders association chairman Ismail Kamarudin saying that some customers came in as early as 4.30 am today. Housewife, Nor Azizah Hassan, 54, suggested that the government held the carnival more often specifically during the month of Ramadan to help the people obtain items at a cheaper price.
“The public started buying provisions to be kept at home so that they don’t have to go to the market every day because the COVID-19 numbers are still high,” he said, adding that his daily sales went up by 20 per cent in the past two days. Azimah, who had been selling grilled fish at the Gong Badak Ramadan Bazaar since 2012 said, with the advent of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, those staying outside the state would normally visit the bazaar to obtain Terengganu cuisines including the products she sold.
