DBKL clears air over controversial notice barring refugees from wholesale market

A DBKL spokesman clarified that they were not allowing refugees into the wholesale market to prevent them from buying goods that they would later resell outside.

DBKL was responding to allegations that they had banned refugees from entering the wholesale market, which led to accusations that it was being discriminatory to the refugees. Only those with valid permits and who are registered with the suppliers are allowed to go in and must be accompanied by their Malaysian employers.
