“Although earlier announcements said daily markets would be allowed to remain open during the MCO, many traders were still unsure if that included open-air markets, ” she said. Lim is in charge of ensuring traders maintain distance between stalls, keep the area clean and wear face masks as well as gloves.The happy atmosphere at the Bandar Sungai Long morning market is a stark contrast to the mood of the association’s committee member Loh Kok Man who represents 130 night market traders in Bandar Sungai Long.

Night market traders in other parts of the Klang Valley are equally disappointed and confused as to why they cannot open for business during the current MCO, but the morning and farmers markets can operate. On Tuesday, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced that wet markets and farmers markets could operate from 7am to 2pm during the current MCO.“In a night market, we have about 200 trading lots, similar to a farmers market that sells food, meat, produce and even clothes.

Loh says the 130 night market traders in Bandar Sungai Long will face a difficult time as they are not allowed to open for business.Sri Petaling Night Market Association chairman Frankie Cheah hopes the government will revise its decision to ban night markets. Petaling Jaya Night Market Association secretary Ken Lee urged the government to at least allow the traders to start their business early and close before 8pm.“We have already imported our goods and they are ready for sale. These are perishable items and we have to sell them fast.

“We only made some profit in June last year during the recovery MCO. We did not do well in September because of the rainy season.
