KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 – Kuala Lumpur City Hall will be relocating traders conducting their business on road shoulders to more orderly business sites, said Deputy Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk M Saravanan(Pic).
He said this was in line with the objective of making Kuala Lumpur an international standard city.
“One of the criteria to become a world class city is that there will be no more hawkers on the street.
“So city folk need to understand that come 2020, there will no more traders by the roadside and the government has taken positive measures to provide special trading areas in the federal capital for the hawkers involved,” he told reporters after handing over business licences to 11 petty traders and opening of the Medan Aneka hawker centre in Jalan Leboh Ampang here today.
The Medan Aneka Hawker Centre was built at a cost of RM220,000 and comes with water and electricity supply for 11 hawkers comprising 10 Indians and one Chinese who have been operating in the area in the last 20 years.
