Nice! That's a lot of accessories you've got there, it's definitely a work bike and not a recreation bike.

You don't need a cargo bike (those are expensive), consider a kid's bike trailer. They typically carry around 100lbs (45kgs?), which is plenty for larger trips (I've done some Costco runs w/ my bike trailer).

Thanks! Yeah it's a bit cluttered but it's a utility bike for me to run errands on weekend, can't really do without any of that stuff.

Where i from, i can't find a bike trailer nor cargo bike as there's virtually no demand here, cycling culture is terrible in Malaysia.

Looks like Thule services Malaysia, and I would be surprised if they're the only one. Find one for two kids, they'll have higher weight limits and be big enough for larger runs.

I use one from Trek, and I've carried:

  • car batteries
  • sacks of rice (like 20 kg)
  • bulk toilet paper
  • my kid's bike (SO picked them up w/ car, and I dropped by in the bike to get their bike)

It's nothing special, just a kid trailer and some creativity.

Couldn't find the outlet that sells it, but found some no name brand one online and... Yeah it's not exactly cheap either :/

Guess i'll stick to this one for a bit longer

Edit: nvm, found some cheaper one after some further digging

Check local classifieds. Even if your area isn't big into cycling, surely someone likes taking their kids on bike rides at a local park or whatever.
