DBKL permits extension but temporary relocation arrangements still vagueLICENSED hawkers at Kepong Baru Hawker Food Centre have been given more time to vacate to make way for upgrading works after objections that the April 1 deadline was too abrupt. “During my meeting with the hawkers on March 19, they said the time given was not enough to vacate the premises. Lim said the hawkers have also asked for a temporary relocation site to avoid losing their income during the three to six month upgrading period. Lim: A meeting will be held with the hawkers and DBKL to iron out the issue of vacating the food court. Lim added that he has approached DBKL to secure funding for both Jinjang Utara Market and Kepong Baru Hawker Food Centre after learning about the allocation.
