The Selayang wholesale market has been cleared of stalls run by illegal immigrants and provides proper parking areas.
Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa said the CCTVs, to be equipped with artificial intelligence features such as facial recognition technology, would enable work to monitor and control activities inside and outside the wholesale market to be carried out more orderly. “The CCTVs will be installed inside and outside the market for enforcement monitoring by DBKL. We will upgrade them from time to time,” he said at the Mural and Graffiti Competition prize-presentation ceremony at the wholesale market today.
“We will consult with the market traders to distribute the quota among the workers who need this facility. This is to help workers who do not have a place to stay or have to pay high rent.”Apart from making it easier for the workers to commute to work, it would also attract more local workers, including from outside the capital.
