The businessman and actor of the film A MAN CALLED AHOK is known to be developing a family business through a traveling tailor. However, due to this deadly epidemic, he has to postpone his visits to several countries.

"The demand in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur has to be postponed because the virus is getting bigger. I'm being cautious too. I don't want to get sick. Because traveling requires good stamina to avoid getting infected with the virus," said Samuel Wongso when met in Jakarta.

1. Family Business

Samuel Wongso is the fourth generation of Wong Hang Tailor. He said that traveling tailor is one of his strategies to maintain the existence of the family business that has been running for 87 years.

"As time goes by, we definitely follow trends and times. So now I am developing this tailor business through traveling tailor, which is already popular in various parts of the world, in Europe and America. So we move from one city to another.
