Pasar Malam Kita, Cerita Kita: Episode 2

“The rain is our holiday. You can’t fight it.” - Hawker, Pasar Malam Sri Sentosa.

For hawkers like Mr. Sandaran and Mr. Liew, a downpour can wash away a whole day’s income in minutes. It’s also the only time they are forced to rest.

In Episode 2 of Pasar Malam Kita, we go behind the folding tables. Between shrinking incomes and unpredictable weather, the market has changed—but the hawkers are adapting, using everything from weather apps to new setups to stay in the game.

After decades being in the Pasar Malam, this is more than just a job. It’s their life.Help keep our night market culture alive.
