KUALA LUMPUR: Traders at the first-ever Ramadan Bazaar in Jalan Raja are not happy but have no choice except to set up stalls away from their traditional turf in Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Batik apparel trader Roslina Yusoh, 46, said Kuala Lumpur City Hall was “completely unreasonable” in pushing them into the heritage quarter. Roslina said if she did not make profit after the first week, she and fellow traders would camp outside Federal Territories Minister Khalid Samad’s office. Their hopes were, however, dashed when the authorities withdrew their earlier decision to make Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman’s closure permanent, opting for a weekend-only trial closure. But if my friends and I suffer losses, we are not going to remain silent.
