IPOH: Over 20 daily licensed petty traders are crying foul for not being able to trade outside the Jelapang market since the movement control order (MCO) went into force on March 18.

These traders conduct their business outside different markets in Ipoh, usually by setting up tables, placing items on the floor, or by selling products from their vans.

Chai, who has been selling general items for the past 25 years, said his income had dropped by some 60%. “We have brought our grouses to the local assemblyman as well, but to no avail, ” he told reporters after Perak MCA public services and complaints bureau chief Low Guo Nan visited them at the market.

“I don’t understand – traders like us are allowed to do our business at other markets, but just at the Jelapang market we are facing problems, ” he added.“I have referred the matter to the council as well as to the Jelapang police station, but both parties are passing the buck to the other.
