THE sudden announcement of the two-week closure of the Raja Bot market in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur caught some traders off guard, especially those who received tonnes of perishable items last week.
The directive on the 14-day closure starting yesterday was issued to the market traders on Monday, giving them only one day to clear up their stock, as the market is closed every Monday and Thursday for sanitisation.
