Chan Kan Woh, a partner in a ceramic company called Chi Shang Mei Enterprises in Petaling Street said he took the opportunity to reopen today but was not expecting any customers to pop by. “For now we are taking down the name, phone numbers and IC numbers before they enter. That’s all we can do now, everything else is beyond our control and since for two months no business we also have no money so we will slowly wait and sell our items till business picks up again.”The same situation applied to a florist shop Flora Life Centre. They also took down the names and phone numbers of customers and conducted temperature checks on anyone coming in.
“Today we opened very early, 8am, to sort of test the market and see what the situation in the city is like. Admittedly it’s still quiet and there aren’t many people around which is a far cry from the normal days where this place is full of tourists and locals alike. “We had a feeling that we may see some walk in customers today as some people may take the opportunity to go out albeit for a little while, and so we prepared the flyers and print out and pasted them at the shop entrance so people don’t crowd inside,” added Mark.
