The traditional way: Yew (left) attending to a customer while his wife Meow Leng uses an abacus to calculate the cost of the herbs at their medicine shop in Jalan Danby in Bukit Mertajam.

TRADITIONAL medicine shop owner Yew Chian Hooi has no choice but to close the doors of his 74-year-old shop as he cannot meet the requirements for the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system.
