IN AN effort to promote it as a tourist attraction, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is giving a total makeover to the flea market commonly called pasar karat in Lorong Petaling by turning it into an Antique Market.

DBKL executive director Datuk Ibrahim Yusoff said an association recognised by DBKL had been appointed for the traders to ensure traders sell genuine antiques and follow the local authority’s requirements.
