Brilio.net - Recently, news circulated that Madurese stalls in several areas in Indonesia were prohibited from operating for 24 hours. This news suddenly became a hot topic of conversation in society, with many questioning the truth and reasons behind it.
After confirmation, it turned out that the ban was misinformation. The Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises confirmed that Madura stalls can operate 24 hours . Secretary of the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs, Arif Rahman Hakim, only asked that the stall comply with operational hours according to regional regulations. And each province has different rules.
The 24-hour operation of the Madura stall went viral when there were calls for rejection in Bali. Moreover, this is linked to competition with the retail industry. Reportedly, many minimarkets feel they are losing out on competition, so they are asking the government to regulate the operating hours of Madura stalls.
