Pandemic strikes thriving tourist spot


No visitors, no traders: The famous Chew Jetty in Weld Quay has been empty since the MCO.

Some 20 stall operators selling trinkets and souvenirs along the narrow wooden walkways have closed for good as there were hardly any tourists since the movement control order (MCO) was enforced on March 18.
