We still need our ‘warung’ and petty traders: PM Anwar tells political leaders to spend time there to understand the masses
He said he makes it his duty to always eat at small “warungs” or hawker kiosk, and stalls before going to the mosque for Friday prayers every week. “I do this every Friday, I will eat at a gerai or a warung first before going to the mosque so that I can see for myself what’s going on and so that I can understand the people’s needs better.”“Who else will have time for these small traders and businesses? Who else will look into their welfare if not us?” he asked.
He said while the country is seeing an influx of investments from multinational companies, it still needs petty traders and stalls to cater to the growing number of workers.He said this is why attention must be given to these small businesses, to prepare space for small businesses in industrial areas and residential areas.
