DBKL postponed order to beautify buildings


The paint on the side of a building where Merchant’s Lane cafe and Kiat Leong Stationery and Trading are located is dirty and peeling off.

BUSINESS owners along Jalan Petaling in Kuala Lumpur are upset and frustrated as they have been given notices to repaint the exterior of their rented shoplots.

They said the notices issued by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) during Phase One of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) were untimely and insensitive as most businesses were closed because of the pandemic.
