JOHOR will limit the number of traders from other states in Deepavali bazaars in future, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi announced this during the launch of the 2025 Deepavali Bazaar in Little India Johor Baru.
He said bazaars should benefit local Indian traders and that the state government will implement the measure from next year.
Onn Hafiz said the state government planned to develop a 3km stretch centred around the Sultan Iskandar Building to take advantage of the RTS Link which is expected to bring in more tourists.
Little India will be an important part of this, he added.
