Traders who want to apply for slots at the upcoming Ramadan bazaar can do so without worrying about unpaid local council summons, according to mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin.
Rumaizi stated that the local council will make it easier for people to earn an income, particularly after the challenges faced during the pandemic.
He expressed, “People are just beginning to recover from the pandemic and their economic situation. As a local council, we want to assist them.”
“Traders with unpaid summons notices do not have to worry about it affecting their application,” he assured the press after the Ipoh City Council (MBI) full board meeting at the MBI headquarters in Greentown on Thursday (Nov 30).
On Wednesday (Nov 29), a news portal reported that some traders in KL were disappointed after their applications to get a slot for the upcoming Ramadan bazaar at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman were rejected.
The traders believed the rejection was due to unpaid Kuala Lumpur City Hall notice summons.
The bazaar is expected to begin operations on the first day of Ramadan, which will be in the first week of March next year.
Rumaizi mentioned that the local council will take strict action against traders who rent out their bazaar spot to others.
“This has been a problem in the past. Some traders secured a spot and rented it out to other traders. While occurrences of this have decreased, we want to prevent it from happening again. So we will devise a plan to address it,” he stated.
Additionally, Rumaizi stated that the application will be open in January, and confirmed that over 1,000 slots will be available in town.
