MPK Market Management and Small Traders Department director Azhar Samsudin said although the 27-year-old market had enough toilets for traders and visitors, new toilets would be built to meet future demand.
They said toilets on the market’s ground floor and first floor of Block A and B were in a bad state with only two cubicles deemed usable, out of a dozen.The filthy toilets need to be disinfected and thoroughly cleaned, said the traders. Klang Market Stall Holders Association chairman Ng Joo Keong said the toilets were in working order when the market underwent renovations last year.
“My stall is located 10m from the toilet and some days, the smell is so bad that it stops people from patronising my stall,” she said.“Even the outside ones are in bad shape,” said Suliah who lives in Kampung Jawa, Klang, and has been trading at the Meru Market for more than 10 years.
