PETTY traders at Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur can hire foreigners only to help them when they set up and close their stalls, said the Kuala Lumpur Hawkers and Petty Traders Association.

Its chairman, Datuk Ang Say Tee, said the traders must ensure that foreigners have valid work permits and do not handle the business at the stalls.
