Days of colourful bazaar numbered

The morning bazaar along Kuala Kangsar Road, just a shoe’s throw away from Komtar (in the background), has offered decades of fun shopping experience for bargain hunters.

NEVER MIND Line Clear Nasi Kandar and its public health violations. There is an even larger group of traders facing the power of the city council and they seem to be going head on.

The Kuala Kangsar Road morning market enjoys a four-star rating on Trip Advisor, but the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) wants its 200-odd traders to be gone.
