CORONAVIRUS | The aim is to transform the wholesale market up to the standards of its counterparts in Japan.

CORONAVIRUS | The Kuala Lumpur wholesale market's operations have been severely impacted since last week as the workers mostly undocumented migrants, who resided at Selayang were confined under an enhanced movement control order .

This had prompted Kuala Lumpur Hoi Seong Fish Wholesaler Association to seek help from the government to allow other undocumented migrants who reside outside the enhanced MCO vicinity to work at the wholesale market for time being and in the long run, to legalise these undocumented migrants and refugees.

The matter was raised by the association in a meeting chaired by Deputy Federal Territories Minister Edmund Santhara on Wednesday afternoon. When asked about this in an interview with Malaysiakini and KiniTV the next day, Santhara declined weight in the matter as migrant workers do not fall under the jurisdiction of his ministry.

He, however, painted a different future of the wholesale market without the illegal migrant workers where it will transform and largely automate its operations...

someone wants to make money? Who?

Only KL? Then they will come to Seremban and Melaka .

If we could do it with TBS and Pudu Raya, we can do it here too. It needs will and no looking after special interest of 'friends'.

Pls get rid the migrant workers and keep the place clean and safety.

Kl saja? Kasi cover 1 negara bah 🙄

Time to order dirty restaurants to renovate and clean up their places with decent toilets in KL Many filthy restaurants around Get car repair shops out of busy areas to industrial sites NSK - plenty of rats

Too late. It is your own doing making such a mess. It requires a strong will from every govt agencies

which gov ur talking about?coz previous gov collapse half way, this new gov also will not last for long time and dont know who will be the next gov..so,who is going to modernise the wholesale markets without illegal migrants...

Msia govt past & present don't have the balls to kick out all illegal immigrants. Employers are extremely greed & pay peanuts to local employees. They defiantly want these cheap labour. This will never end.

Talk is cheap when there are more important matters to attend to

Guess who get the tender (if any) to automate, supply of workers.

Start with education from young. That one needs to work to make a living instead of waiting for handouts. If that is instilled then all Malaysian can find jobs and we don’t need to rely on migrants. There’s plenty of jobs !

Action.....
