KUALA LUMPUR: The abrupt order to close the Ramadan bazaar at Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman here has left a very bitter taste among traders. He revealed that traders were questioning the government’s decision to close the bazaar at such short notice. When contacted, Federal Hawkers and Petty Traders Association president Datuk Seri Rosli Sulaiman urged Kuala Lumpur City Hall to give a one-off aid to the traders. In Selangor, Persatuan Peniaga Kelana Jaya vice-president Nur Sharizain Ahmad said the 150 traders at the Kelana Jaya Ramadan bazaar accepted the state government’s decision to close Ramadan bazaars in the six districts affected by the movement control order. The Kelana Jaya bazaar traders, who started operations on April 13, had adopted risk mitigation measures such as not overstocking.
