ABOUT 70 traders who bid for strategic Ramadan bazaar lots in Lorong Masjid India and Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman, in Kuala Lumpur are accusing Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) of having a tidak apa attitude in keeping illegal traders out of their zone.

“We have paid between RM7,000 and RM37,000 per lot to get space in this area, so we expect DBKL to ensure that these spots remain free of illegal traders,” said Federal Territory Bumiputra Traders president Datuk Rosli Sulaiman.
