Allocation to build, upgrade hawker stalls a breath of life for petty traders, says association


KUALA LUMPUR: The government's initiative to empower hawkers and petty traders through the allocation of RM50mil to build and upgrade 3,000 stalls and kiosks is akin to giving the group a new breath of life to run their businesses.

The Malaysian Federation of Hawkers and Traders Association president Datuk Seri Rosli Sulaiman said this is due to the fact that there are several areas where hawkers and petty traders do business which badly require new construction and upgrading, to enable them to do business comfortably at better stalls or kiosks.
