The housing and local government committee chairman said no licences were issued to foreign traders for these bazaars and warned that enforcement action would be taken against any violators. “I have instructed all local councils to take stern action if foreigners are found operating stalls at these bazaars. “We recorded more than 10 such cases last year involving three local council areas, where foreign traders operated among local traders and sold goods at much lower prices,” he told reporters after opening Kip Mall Tampoi in Johor Baru. “If we don’t control this, it will hurt local traders. “Of the total, 205 locations are for Ramadan bazaars with 12,277 lots, while 19 locations are designated for Aidilfitri bazaars involving 1,299 lots,” he added.
