PETALING JAYA: Vegetable traders at the wholesale market in Selayang have appealed to Kuala Lumpur City Hall to waive the rent on their stalls while the movement control order is on.
Traders at the market pay a monthly rent of RM1,500. During last year’s MCO, which lasted nearly three months, DBKL waived a month’s rent. He urged DBKL to limit entry to the market to only the employees of registered vendors and companies so that the spread of the virus could be controlled. “Last year, the test was done immediately and the cases were controlled, but not now,” he said. “We feel the government should have continued carrying out random tests to prevent cases from spreading.”
