KUALA LUMPUR: Traders in Kuala Lumpur and beyond who were anticipating a busy season in the lead up to Chinese New Year are now bracing themselves for potential losses, after the government again enforced a Movement Control Order (MCO) in almost all states to tackle a soaring number of COVID-19 cases.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 15): The Federation of Malay Hawkers and Petty Traders Association of Malaysia (GPPPKMM) has urged the Government to consider allowing night markets to operate in areas placed under the Movement Control Order (MCO).
Its secretary-general Mohamed Zamri Mohammed said the traders would comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) to be able to earn their income during this challenging period.
“Traders are mostly from the B40 category, and part of them are living hand-to-mouth with no savings, so they might be able to survive for a week or two, but what will happen if the MCO is extended?” he said while appearing as a guest on the Ruang Bicara programme aired on Bernama TV tonight.
