KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 — Local authorities have never allowed foreigners to apply for or own a business licence for retail shops, eateries or premises in public markets.
“PBT will not compromise on this and will revoke the licence of any local tenants found misusing it. In addition, enforcement operations are often carried out by PBT to curb this issue,” he said when winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2023 at the policy level in Parliament today. As such, he said the Local Government Development Ministry agreed with the recommendations for strategic collaborations between several ministries to address people’s complaints effectively.
