Ramadan, Aidilfitri bazaars in KL allowed to operate, says FT Minister

RAMADAN and Aidilfitri bazaars in Kuala Lumpur will be allowed to operate throughout the movement control order, but with limited hours.

Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said Ramadan bazaars can operate for five hours, from 3pm to 8pm.

“To avoid overcrowding at the bazaars, the number of visitors at a time need to be controlled by giving queue number cards.

“The number of visitors will be determined by the number of stalls multiplied by three, ” he said at a press conference in Menara DBKL.

On the Aidilfitri bazaars, Annuar said traders could operate from 10am to 10pm.

“Many traders have stocked up Hari Raya supplies and will need to sell it.

“I hope visitors who go to these bazaars do not do window shopping, but make quick purchases and leave the premises as soon as possible, ” he said.

He advised visitors to the bazaar not to bring young children and babies.

He also said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) can exercise its powers to close any bazaar if the operations did not comply with the standard operating procedures for three days and allow reopening after the SOPs were in place.
