(Reuters) - One of Amazon's top executives defended the new, controversial 5-day-per-week in-office policy on Thursday, saying those who don't support it can leave for another company.

Traders, he said, were required to pay the rent online by the 18th of each month and some of the 47 traders who were late in making payment by just a day found the system locked.The notice also said traders had to apply for a new trading licence to resume business at the market, he told StarMetro, and wondered how much this would cost.

Rajaratnam said they contacted the area’s MBPJ councillor Ahmad Akhir Pawan Chik who promised to sort out the matter. Dr Afif told StarMetro the market had about 560 business lots with only 200 operational, and now 47 traders had received the notice to vacate.
