City Hall will revoke licences to traders who rent out premises to foreigners, says Dr Zaliha


KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will revoke or suspend the licences of traders in Jalan Silang here, who were found to be violating business regulations by renting out their premises to foreigners.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the ministry was awaiting detailed information from the Royal Malaysia Police’s General Operations Force (PGA) over an integrated operation on Jalan Silang on Thursday (Dec 22).

"The traders should make the most of the licences that have been granted to them and not ‘give’ them to foreigners to run businesses...we should conduct such operations on other premises.

"So, I’m obtaining more information about it (the operation)... it is also one of DBKL’s priorities to address the issue of illegal foreign traders in main business locations in the federal capital,” she told reporters after attending the key handover ceremony of Rumah Kasih Harapan Kak Wan Series 3 here on Friday (Dec 22).

The ceremony was officiated by Bandar Tun Razak MP Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

On Thursday (Dec 22), 1,101 foreign nationals were detained for various immigration offences under an integrated operation involving several enforcement agencies around Jalan Silang.

The operation was aimed at curbing criminal activities around the area and the Kota Raya Complex, especially those involving foreign nationals. – Bernama
