“The Chamber looks forward to an equal and fair treatment of all businesses across the board to ensure a conducive business environment for all and promote cordial relations based on mutual trust and benefit.”

The owner Lei Cheng alias Charlie said that they will increase security personnel to handle the high traffic of customers. 

He added that they were working on resolving the issue of tills so as to ensure that customer queues are not long upon re-opening.

"We need to close down and give a cooling down period," he said.

Charlie urged the public against misinterpreting the closure to mean anything else other than the stated reasons.
