Relocated PJ hawkers happy with better facilities

Abu Bakar says having facilities including rolling shutters for security is a big improvement at his new site in Lorong Tandang 51/204B.

HAWKERS who relocated from stalls along Jalan 51/217 in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, say their new premises are safer and better equip­ped but space and foot traffic remain concerns.

The relocation follows Petaling Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) decision to tear down 20 stalls at the decades-old site to make way for drainage upgrades aimed at reducing flood risks in the industrial area.
