A resident of the Seri Anggerik People’s Housing Project along Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur peers out from his unit in the low-cost flat.
These popular independent businesses usually sell a range of traditional dishes for local residents to enjoy, from a quick bite to just a glass of teh tarik. Trade is usually brisk enough to make a living. “We have no other source of income; our family depends on this stall,” said Haidah Khairudin, 49, who lives in the flats with her husband and six children. She has been operating her stall for the past 15 years.
Haidah is optimistic that her application to receive a BPN cash handout under the scheme will tide her over until the MCO is lifted.Her friend, Aisah Salleh, 54, who has been operating her stall at Seri Anggerik PPR for the past 18 years, said she is having a hard time paying her monthly RM30 rent. “Most people living here are from the B40 income bracket and many of them are daily earners who have been affected by the MCO,” said the 53-year-old who has been operating in the same location for 10 years.
