Foreign construction workers nabbed for illegally selling used clothes


KUALA LUMPUR: Construction workers who were scheduled to start work at their construction job in front of Jalan Cochrane in Kuala Lumpur Tuesday (July 21) morning were nabbed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement officers for selling used clothes outside the site.

Several of them, all Bangladeshi nationals with valid working permits (to work at the construction site), had laid out the second-hand clothing along Jalan Cochrane ala "pasar malam"-style hoping to make a quick buck before clocking in to their daytime job.
