A group of restaurant owners has welcomed the government’s latest push to whitelist unlicensed traders in Kuala Lumpur, but says the plan should be implemented thoughtfully and not at the expense of brick-and-mortar restaurants.
Malaysian Indian-Muslim Restaurant Owners Association (Presma) vice-president Abdul Mukthahir M. Ibrahim said the group supported Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa’s call for a more structured approach towards roadside traders.
