Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) on Tuesday (June 23) issued a statement explaining an in-house notice that went viral over social media recently about a ban on refugees shopping at Pasar Borong Kuala Lumpur. Read more here:

A DBKL spokesman clarified that they were not allowing refugees into the wholesale market to prevent them from buying goods that they would later resell outside.

DBKL was responding to allegations that they had banned refugees from entering the wholesale market, which led to accusations that it was being discriminatory to the refugees. Only those with valid permits and who are registered with the suppliers are allowed to go in and must be accompanied by their Malaysian employers.
