GEORGE TOWN: After more than a year of the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all business and tourism operators at Chew Jetty have closed for good or temporarily, leaving the once bustling jetties all quiet.
But Chew Cheng Chooi still lives there, waiting for the jetty of his ancestors to go back to livelier times so that he can sell his durian puffs and ice cream again.
