SHAH ALAM: The grey skies and heavy rain here did not stop fans from crowding the vicinity of the Shah Alam Stadium hours before the Malaysia Cup final kick-off between Perak and Terengganu today.
Fans were seen sheltering under canopies and giant-sized umbrellas used by those manning stalls.
Abang Joe, a jersey trader, said business has been slow due to the rain.
“However, I have already made a lot of money from selling jerseys here since yesterday. Business is always good during big matches.
“At the moment, fans are not buying but instead sheltering themselves under my stall’s giant umbrella,” said Abang Joe.
Based on NSTP Sport’s observation, fans are purchasing mostly flags of Perak and Terengganu, headbands, priced between RM3 and RM10 and raincoats.
Salina, 43, a hawker, said her food and drinks are selling fast despite the rain.
“I will probably run out of food and drinks before the kick-off at 9pm,” said Salina.
