例句
由于靠近关卡,许多联邦人都爱到兀兰来购物。70年代,关卡附近的兀兰中心尚未落成,马西岭的商店便成了联邦人购物的好去处。在那里开药材店的黄绍林说:“那时我们的顾客,除了本区的居民,很多是来自长堤彼岸的客人。直到80年代兀兰中心投入服务后联邦客才减少,而转做本区居民的生意。”(《联合早报》,8/2/1996)
SAMPLE SENTENCE
Many Malaysians love shopping at Woodlands as it is located near to the checkpoint. In the 1970s, before the nearby Woodlands Town Centre was built, Malaysians would often shop at Marsiling. According to Mr Huang Shaolin who owns a Traditional Chinese Medicine shop there, "At the time, other than nearby residents, many of our customers came from across the causeway. The number of Malaysian customers only started to decline in the 1980s when the Woodlands Town Centre opened. This has prompted us to shift the focus of our business onto the local residents." (Lianhe Zaobao, 08/02/1996)
