Over 50 traders converged at the entrance of the Market Place OUG building on Tuesday bearing banners to oppose the election of new committee members.
"We are not happy with the DBKL and MP's office interference,'' said trader David Choy, who spoke on behalf of the management of the current association. "We have been here for 20 to 30 years. We are not happy that there are newcomers here who are not active members,'' said a trader who only wanted to be identified as Wan.Wan also said that due to the newcomers, her number of stall lots had reduced from three to one.
During the election process, the veteran traders said new traders who are not active should not be allowed to vote.
