Newspaper vendors in dire straits

Newspaper vendors have not been able to run their stalls ever since the MCO took effect on March 18. This photo was taken before the restriction order was in place.

THE global Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in tremendous loss of business and income, and like others, newspaper vendors are feeling the pinch.

One of them is Mohd Ibrahim Abdul Hamid, 56, who has been selling newspapers at a makeshift stall in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, since 1995.
