Deepavali demand for snack food keeps villagers at work

WHILE business is relatively quiet in other parts of Ipoh, the Deepavali mood is evident in Buntong’s Kampung Kacang Putih as customers rush to stock up on their festive titbits.

N. Jayakumary, whose family owns T.M.S. Trading, is among the eight manufacturers of kacang putih in the village, revealed that they have been working round the clock to meet demand.
