GEORGE TOWN: Hawker Chin Foo Khong recently raised the white flag after running out of food and money but he is not ready to give up yet.

The 59-year-old, whose fried carrot cake stall came to a standstill after travelling stopped due to Covid-19 restrictions, is now selling dumplings, soya bean jelly and traditional herbal dish, guilinggao, from his house to keep his family of four going.
