All the Sharks will pay their price as law of karma will not leave them in peace for robbing the retailers! Certainly their children and families will pay for it!
AS Malaysia’s COVID-19 cases climbed higher, Pak Khalid (not his real name) wondered if his roadside stall would survive another lockdown.
When the news broke that dine-ins were banned again, he folded away his plastic tables for what he thought was the last time.
Pak Khalid is not alone in his struggle. Between March and October 2020, 2,713 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia have been forced to close.
The impact of these closures continues to ripple throughout our country, and we see its effects in the form of our unemployed relatives, news of our favourite chendol stall in Penang closing and pleas for donations on social media.
Well-meaning researchers have pointed out that going digital will help hawkers stay afloat, but this is easier said than done.
Hawkers such as Pak Khalid continue to struggle with registering their businesses on online platforms, what more having to upload photos of his products, tracking orders as they come in, or having to answer the confusing: “Can I pay using e-wallet?”.
While the nation’s internet connectivity is at a high of 88%, 55% of our community remain unbanked and unqualified for conventional financial assistance which could help them survive these difficult times.
As we celebrate another Merdeka and sing “Rakyat hidup bersatu dan maju”, it is time we made sure this becomes a reality.
That each Malaysian get equal opportunities to achieve financial independence so we can truly prosper together.
This journey begins with financial inclusion which goes beyond granting more people with access to pre-existing financial solutions.
In Singapore, a software engineer noticed that hawkers were struggling to read online orders.
Understanding that these uncles and aunties were more familiar with WhatsApp, he converted the order sheets into order forms which would stay on WhatsApp.
Within eight months, this small project has been adopted by more than 230 Singaporean hawkers, sparking meaningful digital transformation for the community, and helping them keep the lights on.
