Being a small local business owner is never an easy job as there’s no guarantee of a steady income, and with the current economic situation, things are about to get much more difficult.
On Tuesday (June 22), a laksa stall owner published a video showing several ingredients such as onions, chilis, and lime slices being strewn across the road by a keropok seller.
The incident, which happened along Taman Koperasi LLN, Kajang, began with the laksa seller claiming that her ingredients were destroyed by the keropok seller whose stall was located next to hers.
Unfazed by the fact that she was being filmed, the keropok hawker angrily told the laksa seller to operate elsewhere.
“Don’t open your stall besides mine!” she shouted before stomping away.
It was speculated the keropok hawker wasn’t too thrilled having a potential competitor nearby and decided to make her thoughts known by sabotaging the laksa stall.

After the video was published on the Facebook group Malaysia Crime Watch, it generated 365,000 views and 4,000 comments.
Most netizens sympathised with the laksa seller, saying that it was irrational and inconsiderate of the keropok hawker to destroy her ingredients as she was trying to earn a living.
