Food businesses in Southeast Asian countries go online for Ramadan due to Covid-19 restrictions
An online Ramadan bazaar trader wraps"Popiah" spring rolls at his home, during the movement control order due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease , in Sungai Buloh, Malaysia April 11, 2020.
“This is the first time we are selling online, so we wanted to start early to make sure our customers can find us,” 38-year-old Siti Zabedah said. Malaysian authorities have imposed a partial lockdown until mid-May and called off Ramadan bazaars. They are usually attended by packed crowds and feature hundreds of stalls selling food for iftar, or the fast-breaking meal.
“Here we have to do a bit more educating as most vendors are used to just being on the street. Going online or dealing with cashless transactions will be something new for them.”
