Others pointed to the lack of water supply or even a sink for washing, and that some kiosks were in low-traffic areas, which resulted in poor sales.
As if setting up stall in random parking space have access to water supply? I know these project is tend to operated in 3 minute passion which will not last for an election cycle, but cmon.
Wdym? I bet there’s plenty of traffic due to lazy ass drivers double parking everywhere. THIS. IS. MALAYSIA!!

Why the heck are these stalls solar powered? They’re not in the middle of nowhere, and they’re not mobile. They could just as easily have pulled a power cable to them. Some dumbass politico wanted to seem green without thinking it through.
