BANGI, April 7 Already struggling to make ends meet, a group of traders in Sungai Ramal, Selangor have now lost their stalls and shops to bulldozers when the local council went ahead with a demolition order yesterday, despite their entreaties.
The stalls and shops, located at Kampung Manickam Bangi Lama, were closed down by order of the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) at the start of the year, leaving many of the traders without a source of income. According to the traders, the reason was never made clear.
RUBBER gloves were strewn on the floor and some were on sorting tables.
Beside the gloves, there were washing machines and cleaning solutions like bleach, tyre polish and liquid blue.
Many of the gloves that looked washed still had unidentified stains and scribbling on them, and were being handled under unhygienic conditions.
There was also no clear indication of segregation between the ones that had been washed and those piled up for washing.
Storage-wise, some gloves were packed in sacks on open-air racks at a parking area.
Those packed in boxes were devoid of protective covering, a clear indication that the products were not sterile.

She said the study would involve five local authorities including the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj), Ampang Jaya Municipal Council and Klang Municipal Council.
“These five local authorities will be used as examples in the study and they will draft the standard operating procedures and the disposal method,” she said.
NINETEEN chemical barrels were found on Sungai Langat river reserve land in Taman Sri Reko, Kajang, Selangor.
Thirteen were 160l barrels believed to contain solvent while six others were 5l barrels believed to contain thinner.
However, no traces of the chemicals were found in the water body close to the site.
State environment, green technology, tourism and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said residents nearby spotted the barrels a few days ago and reported the matter to Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj).
The area was an illegal waste dumping site which had been cleared, he said, and possibly used as a chemical dumping ground now.
