Episode description
Imagine being forced to stand all day at a stall - while pregnant. That’s exactly what Noorman Mubarak’s wife faced after the NEA gave them a warning for not being physically present at their Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang stall. In a viral complaint, Noorman called out the unfair regulations that require hawkers to be on-site no matter the circumstances. But is the system punishing hawkers, or are these regulations necessary?
