Traders concerned as Penang Sentral almost deserted due to Covid-19

Sunday, 22 Nov 2020 07:10 PM MYTBUTTERWORTH, Nov 22 — The Covid-19 pandemic, that is still plaguing the world, has been affecting all walks of life, especially small traders who are feeling the pinch the most due to the outbreak.

One of them, Julaika Paulino, 19, who helps her sister selling snacks, said that the lack of visitors was driven by fear as people now do not want to leave the house unnecessarily due to fear of the spread of the Covid-19 infection. Julaika also said that she had difficulty in finding a part-time job as not many employers are willing to hire workers while the country is facing the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Azira Abdul Manaf, 27, a trader at the complex’s food court also expressed her concerns as she has to bear piling debts due to small profit.“Our shop has to reduce production costs as we need to cover the existing debt. We open our shop daily but there are no customers. This is very difficult for us,” she said.
