If we can manage the markets well; keep them clean and safe, for example, then cities can generate great revenues from tourism...we have floating markets...and regular markets like the Kianggeh market in Bandar Seri Begawan (we have tons of these...) and tourists (especially those coming from foreign countries) want to experience the real deal...and not modernized miniatures of tradition. Thanks for the input, bro!^^ I just fear that by incorporating “modern living” into traditional markets, then we will lose its essence…what’s the difference between this modernized traditional market with modern supermarkets (physically)?

Some of them also had air conditioning system inside, like pasar pagi (the morning market). So, It is not only related with how to preserve the market, but to adapt the "modern living" with the traditional culture inside there.
