He detailed how Ajak donated tables and chairs for his shop, while Shuib also offered support and donations. These contributions were vital as his business struggled with insufficient space, leading to viral videos of crowded conditions and even theft. "The contributions from friends were definitely there. For example, Ajak sent tables and chairs for my shop. Besides Ajak, Shuib also came to give support and donations," he said.

Tauke Jambu is currently undertaking a business restructuring, planning to move to a new location. He clarified that the move is not due to a lack of capital but because the previous site was unsuitable for business activities. Despite offers for locations in Tanjung Karang and Jeram, he is seeking a better spot. He expressed hope that a new, more central location in Kajang will attract more customers, including those who previously traveled from Johor, the East Coast, and the North to support him.
