Question

## Kuala Sepetang's Charcoal Legacy Faces Uncertain Future Amidst Lack of Young Successors

Accepted Answer

The continuation of Kuala Sepetang's century-old charcoal-making tradition is under threat due to a discernible lack of interest from the younger generation in taking over the demanding trade. While the industry, established in 1930 and currently comprising 120 factories, has a deep-rooted legacy often managed by third-generation owners, the prospect of its survival hinges on attracting new blood or facing potential takeover by external entities.
