Perak MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau's Low Guo Nan said rebuilding the dilapidated 60-year-old market was a good thing and having a referendum to let the people decide was a waste of funds. Speaking to reporters at the Perak MCA building here today, Low said he was told Pasir Pinji assemblyman Howard Lee met the traders and people of Pasir Pinji five times since March to get a consensus on rebuilding the market.
Pasir Pinji resident Chuah Ah Yok, 65, is one of those who thinks the referendum will be a waste of resources and time.She said what the authorities need to do is to clamp down on illegal hawkers trading in the market and should not bother with the referendum.“We do not need a referendum to decide. We can see the market is in a bad shape with its leaking roof and clogged drains,” said Lai, who is one of the vendors at the Pasir Pinji market.
