They complain that not only does the roof leak when it rains, there are also not enough electrical power points and water taps.
“There are only 40 power points and four water pipes to be shared among 245 traders. This is clearly not enough for us,” said Ten. “It would be best if MBSJ, Tenaga Nasional Bhd and the Fire and Rescue Department carry out a safety check before asking us to relocate,” said Poon. “The entire structure of the temporary market is supported by metal beams, which can conduct electricity. If there is a leak in the electrical circuit, there is a real danger of visitors and traders getting electrocuted,” he said.
