Hawkers have to use the parking lot due to inadequate stalls.

MUKAH: The public are calling on Mukah and Dalat District Council (MDDM) to provide proper stalls for hawkers at ‘pasar tamu’ here.

The traders are currently occupying a motorcycle and car parking bays. A visit to the site found more than 40 vegetable and fruit traders there.

According to hawker Apun Likun, they are using the parking lots to trade as the current lots at the ‘pasar tamu’ cannot accommodate new hawkers.

“We have to trade here because there is no other place for us, and we are also willing to pay rent
like other traders (who operate on their own lots) for these parking bays.

Hawkers have to use the parking lot due to inadequate stalls.

“We could not vacate this place because we also want to do business.“Therefore, I propose that the MDDM build more and proper stalls for us,” he explained.

The ‘pasar tamu’ is filled with traders coming from Selangau, Kuala Balingian, Sibu as well
as the local residents every weekend.

As it is now fruit season, MDDM should establish more and proper stalls so that hawkers do not continue to use parking lots illegally, he added. – RAHIMI RAHIM
