Between income and safety.

At the Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ramadan bazaar, traders scurried to put up plastic sheets around their tents to protect their goods from the rain.

Some of them complained that the strict Covid-19 standard operating procedure by Kuala Lumpur City Hall was turning shoppers away and putting a dent in their business.Trader Ellia Surya Sabaruddin, 40, who sells traditional wear, said many visitors were not keen to wait in a queue to enter the cordoned-off bazaar.

Visitors were told to start from Section A in front of Campbell Complex then continue on to sections B, C and D and not double back. Fatah, who has been trading in the city centre for the past 12 years, however, is optimistic that footfall will pick up in coming days. “In past years, this bazaar was not only frequented by Klang Valley folk, but also people from other states, ” he said.

Abdul Razak rebuffed calls by certain quarters to review the permission for Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri bazaars to open. “This allows for a bigger time window for people to shop, as they usually go out after terawih prayers, ” he said when met on a weekend.
