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).

My errand getter is a steel 90s MTB. Front and rear racks + a few trailer options. I’ve been easily able to haul over 120lbs.
My favourite trailer, and one that I could recommend to pretty much anyone, is the burley travoy. So many benefits with the only con being it’s price (especially with the extra accessories). Well, well worth it, IMO.
Yeah, if you’re regularly doing heavy loads, getting a purpose-built trailer is a good idea. But if you’re just getting groceries, you can probably get a kids trailer used for <$100.
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.

We have a bike trailer that has a little “trunk” area. I say “little”, but damn, you can put a lot of stuff in there!

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.

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.
