GEORGE TOWN, Aug 2 ― After 18 months of uncertainty and spotty income, Tropical Spice Garden in Teluk Bahang here is facing permanent closure as its funds run dry.
Even then, if they were to close permanently, Chua said they may not even be able to pay their remaining staff termination benefits. Supporters can opt to join the TSG Spice Fam monthly membership programme or donate directly to the garden. Realising that they needed to switch the focus of TSG now to gain local support, Chua said they have restructured the business into a community project instead of being a tourist attraction.
“We do have some support but it was not enough, we need a higher volume for these to be viable,” she said.
Tourism ministry hv been a disgrace this whole covid. Hardly done anything. Minister hiding away.
