SINGAPORE - After coping with the onslaught of Covid-19 like most businesses, Ms Javis Wong, who owns a shop at Tiong Bahru Market, also had to deal with reduced foot traffic when some parking spaces

were removed.

Lazada aims to launch the Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru Marketplace, with products such as food, clothes and health products, in October, and to bring on board more merchants from the more than 350 stalls at both locations. Lazada chief executive Loh Wee Lee, Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market and Food Centre Association chairman Quek Tai Yong and Tiong Bahru Market Hawkers' Association chairman Loh Teck Seng signed a memorandum of understanding at Tiong Bahru Market to launch the initiative on Friday .

"I joined because I believe in lifelong learning," he said in Mandarin."Some stallholders in their 40s and 50s don't know how to use these platforms too, but it's important to learn." The clothing store owner said in Mandarin:"It would be best if they have training in Chinese as well because most of the shop owners in the market are Chinese-speaking, we're not good at speaking English."
