If traders insist on leaving their goods overnight at the market, it will be at their own risk.

Market and Petty Traders chairman and councillor Albert Tiang said according to a rule in the trading licence, hawkers must take away their goods after the day’s trading.Recently, several crab sellers complained that between seven and eight baskets of crabs weighing over 50kg were stolen at night.

“That has been the stipulated condition since when the market opened 20 years ago. We are not trying to shirk responsibility and we sympathise with the affected traders,” he said. In other markets in Kuching, Miri and Bintulu, traders comply with the rule as well by not leaving their goods overnight on the premises.

The council made this decision after some traders complained about the lack of security at the market, resulting in the theft of their goods.“This is done not only to prevent theft but also to keep rodents from eating the perishable goods,” he elaborated.
