Outdoor market traders seek DBKL’s permission to open during lockdown


Police checking on SOP compliance at the Kepong Baru wet market. Only stalls selling vegetables, meats and dry food items are allowed to open for business during the lockdown.

KEPONG Baru market traders want Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to reconsider the decision to close outdoor markets during the lockdown, especially since some hawkers are allowed to operate by the roadside during this period.

The traders also fear the possibility of the lockdown being extended beyond June 14, which will impact their income further.
