Petaling Street traders see red over new City Hall ruling


Dang, who runs a handbag stall in Petaling Street, had his licence revoked although he claims he had never employed any foreign worker.

PETALING Street Traders are unhappy over being asked to sign a letter of undertaking by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to state that if they were to flout the local authority’s rules, their licence will be revoked without any notice.

Kuala Lumpur Hawkers and Petty Traders Association chairman Datuk Ang Say Tee described the rules as unfair and unreasonable, questioning why only traders in Petaling Street were singled out for the exercise.
