SIMPANG RENGGAM: Two elderly women are keeping a century-old family tradition alive – selling Hainanese noodles at their family’s coffee shop in Renggam town here.

Yhin Yok Kin, 72, and her sister-in-law Sion Ah Moi, 76, have been running the business for a few hours in the mornings, despite the town not having many visitors since last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
