THE plan to move Pasar Karat at Lorong Petaling in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur to an open space next to the Lee Lam Thye Market (also known as Penjaja Gallery Jalan Tun HS Lee) has received blowback from traders of both markets.

The Pasar Karat or flea market traders who have plied the trade for years at Lorong Petaling are reluctant to move as the new location cannot guarantee better business.
