As far as I am concerned I stayed almost two hours inside walking around and talking to people like this seller who “posed” for his portrait.

People in Malaysia (in general) do not get bothered when you take a photo of them, but only if you ask permission first.

As one of my teachers in photography used to say: Do not forget that you do not “steal” a photography, you “take” it!
