Once an iconic shopping street where tourists could get everything from knick-knacks to cheap tee-shirts with “I love Kuala Lumpur” emblazoned on the front, it was also notorious for the large number of businesses run by migrants.

What used to make Petaling Street iconic is now out of date, according to Ang. “We now have younger people taking over so they can continue to attract the crowd and domestic tourists,” he said. Ang said the plan to “modernise” the shopping street was mooted nearly two years ago, but the Covid-19 pandemic just speeded things up.Rather than returning with the tried and tested, the association studied the night market concepts prevalent in Taiwan and Thailand with the sole purpose of enabling young Malaysians to start their own small businesses.“Since we opened on Monday, there has been a relatively good crowd on the street, buying food and drinks,” he said.
