JOHOR BARU: Modern consumer habits have turned electrical repair shops like 76-year-old Cheng Hau Git’s into a sunset trade. “When I first started my business in 1972, television sets were uncommon, so I mostly repaired radio sets, irons and other household appliances. “But when it gained popularity in the 80s and 90s, there were always television sets for me to repair. After bulky television sets were phased out by LED, OLED and the likes, the people seldom sent their sets for repairs anymore. Aside from electronic product repairs, Cheng has been providing door-to-door wiring and repair services for his regular customers in Johor Baru and Skudai to survive.
