Hawkers being exploited, says federation

SOME unscrupulous people are out to exploit hawkers and petty traders by offering to help them – for a fee – to apply for government loans. 

The Federation of Hawkers and Petty Traders Associations of Malaysia has threatened to expose the identities of these people who, it claimed, are taking advantage of those traders who need the money for business but are ignorant about how to make a loan application.
