Businesses in Malaysia’s Johor state are gearing up for an influx of shoppers from Singapore ahead of Lunar New Year.

They said the number of customers had risen gradually in recent weeks, with a sharper increase in sales expected.

Hamper store owner Loo Chok Nan said he began getting Lunar New Year orders from Malaysian and Singaporean buyers about two weeks ago.

“We would normally deliver the orders as soon as they have been wrapped and packed, so that we have enough room to pack more coming orders,” he said.

“So far, we have delivered at least 300 hampers, including to customers in Singapore, and we expect the number to go up, especially in the two weeks before the festival.”

Loo said he receives an average of 10,000 orders for Lunar New Year every year.

“We hope to achieve a similar figure this year, but it is not easy to predict as there are more shops offering hampers over the years.”
