Test us all for virus, say PJ Old Town market traders


Some traders at the Jalan Othman market in Petaling Jaya are upset over the authorities’ decision to refuse them Covid-19 tests following the market’s closure after a fishmonger there tested positive.

Only seafood and food stall traders were tested by the Petaling District Health Office, causing uneasiness among the rest who felt the authorities should be more mindful of their health.
