Hawker food can be a profitable draw


THE Covid-19 pandemic proved true that the mother of inventive thinking is desperation: Owing to the sudden hard times, local authorities like DBKL (Kuala Lumpur City Hall) initiated programmes like “Free Trade Zone” (or WBB, Wilayah Bebas Berniaga) hawking permits.

As a result, countless Malaysians were able to tide themselves over the hard times by selling food along walkways and various available plots of land. We can learn some valuable lessons from this experience.
