KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Brickfields Deepavali traders are resorting to TikTok to drive sales before the festival, amid sluggish sales this year. The bazaar has been moved to a car park to avoid traffic congestion, but traders miss their previous locations where business was better. Gunaseelan Subramaniam, a 25-year veteran, earned only RM1,000 over the last weekend sale.
Sunita Gill from Ipoh may not return next year unless traders are moved back. Viswalingam Karuppiah, a 61-year-old trader, faces the challenge of heat inside the tents and low customer footfall.
