Even if you're unable to pay them a visit, she encourages the public to support old school craft stores like these, as they have been slowly shutting down one by one.
"It's really sad to see stores like this go," she says, adding in the comments that they do not have enough manpower to sell the items online.
Malaysians, especially those who grew up visiting the store, also expressed their sadness in the comments
Sam Trading Company is located near the wet market and nasi lemak bumbung shop in Sea Park, PJ
You can find it on Waze or Google Maps. If you'd like to pay them one last visit, please maintain physical distancing and follow standard operating procedures.
