JOHOR BARU: Decades-old shops in the heart of Johor Baru are still in business despite the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, thanks to support from the locals.

The business operators said that while they had suffered losses because of the movement control order (MCO) and restrictions put in place due to the pandemic, like the closure of the border with Singapore, many were able to weather the storm thanks to local customers.
