Traders at First Garden morning market hope Ipoh City Council (MBI) will legalise their business, as enforcement actions are disrupting their livelihoods. There are about 40 unlicensed traders operating on Lorong Taman 10 and Lorong Taman 11 in First Garden, near the commercial centre. Cheah: Approval never given to trade at Lorong Taman 10 and Lorong Taman 11. “This is a commercial zone and it should be attractive to shoppers and tourists.”There are plans to move First Garden morning market traders to a nearby food court. She said that following a review, the city council was unable to issue licences to the hawkers because they were trading on parking bays.
