#NSTviral: Grocery shop owner praised as Domestic Trade video shows all regulations followed [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: A video of a law-abiding grocer following an inspection by Melaka Domestic Trade and Cost of Living enforcement officers at her store received praise from social media users. In the video posted by the Melaka KPDN TikTok account, the grocery store operator was seen to be following all the regulations involved. In the video, the woman was seen to be talking in a high-pitched voice, which was received with laughter by the officers. However, one of the officers praised the woman for following the regulations despite the small size of the shop. The video caught netizens' attention as some described the old woman as a 2025 model trader. Watch on TikTok "I vote (her) for Model Trader 2025, give her a certificate, some cash to boost their business capital, and a huge banner so they can show off to the neighbours!" @aak1767 said in the comment section. Meanwhile, some other social media users humorously claimed that the woman had been waiting for the officers to come to her shop all this time. "I think that auntie has been waiting a long time for the KPDN to come to her shop," @_rimurusama69.
