> Former drummer of Caliph Buskers, Fendy Adlun, claimed he was “chased away” from busking at a Ramadan bazaar recently.
Harian Metro reported that Fendy, who was busking at Bandar Tun Razak’s Ramadan bazaar, claimed that Kuala Lumpur City Hall issued a ban on buskers at the bazaar.
Fendy, who is visually impaired, expressed frustrations with the order. “If I can’t carry on (busking), what else can I do? I can’t drive a Grab, I can’t work in an office. I can’t even wash dishes at a mamak shop,” he said.
