Nurlena admitted that she had given up, because she felt that she had no more solutions to increase her business income.

Meanwhile, a number of stalls near where Nurlena was selling appear to no longer be open for business. In fact, several kiosks have closed their businesses because they are no longer able to pay rent to the managers.
"It's already closed because it's already difficult to pay the kiosk rental," he concluded while pointing to a number of kiosks in the surrounding area.
