SINGAPORE: A practising lawyer found himself standing sheepishly in the dock of the State Courts on Wednesday (Nov 6), after an alcohol-fuelled night out at Zouk nightclub in 2022.
PETALING JAYA: There has been a shift in the behaviour of night market consumers since the pandemic with many choosing not to linger, causing the markets to close earlier, say traders.
Kepong Petty Traders Association deputy president Deric Teh said the shift in consumer behaviour post-pandemic highlighted the need for innovation.“Many shoppers now simply buy what they need and leave. This change poses challenges for traders, who have struggled in recent years.“Also, the rise of takeaway culture has prompted a need for more enticing options beyond traditional fare,” he said in an interview yesterday.
“There are over 10 night markets in areas like Segambut, Kepong, Jinjang and Jalan Ipoh in Kuala Lumpur. “With more than 50 night markets in Kuala Lumpur alone and fewer morning markets, the sector faces competition from hypermarkets and online sellers,” he said. “This shift has made it challenging for traders, who must continuously innovate to stay relevant and make a living,” he said, adding that the usual traditional offerings like char kuey teow, kuih apong, fried radish cake and kuih have become commonplace.
