WHEN it comes to official matters, the process of obtaining a licence can seem daunting.
In these situations, one often finds people who will step in to exploit the confusion of others to make easy money.
Recently, claims emerged that KL City Hall (DBKL) was selling hawker licence application forms through agents.
Is this true?
VERDICT:
FALSE
"I noticed that there are people who call themselves 'agents' of DBKL, attempting to sell application forms to hawkers. DBKL did not appoint anyone and the application forms are free of charge.
Hawkers who are approached by these 'agents' should lodge a police report," said Mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif
She added while speaking at the "Apa Cerita Datuk Bandar" podcast by DBKL on Thursday (June 26) that she was making the clarification to prevent hawkers from being misled by false claims and ensures the integrity of the application process.
Maimunah then said that all applications must be submitted directly to DBKL.
