PETALING JAYA - The supply of vegetables in the Klang Valley and in several neighbouring states has been hit by the temporary closure of several wholesale and big markets in KL and Selangor for health checks and cleansing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Klang Valley, with total population of some 7 million, includes Malaysia's commercial capital Kuala Lumpur, the country's administrative capital Putrajaya and Selangor cities Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya. "In order to enter the market, both wholesalers and their customers will need to produce proof that they tested negative for the virus," Mr Wong said.
On Monday , the wet markets in Taman Megah and in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, were closed after vegetable traders were found to be infected after they went to the KL wholesale market.
