Growing big in Little Kangar

Chia Hao and Cheng Cheng welcoming customers at their mini-market in Kangar.

FOO Yin Fong was the classic sundry shopkeeper, dressed in a white Pagoda T-shirt and black shorts, and delivering supplies on his trusty old bicycle. That was in 1955 when he started his shop in Kuala Perlis.

Since then, the family business Yonhin has evolved into one of the most trusted and respected brands in Kangar, with the third generation operating the business in Jalan Raja Syed Alwi.
