KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged state governments and local councils not to neglect the interests of small traders, particularly Malay hawkers.

Local authorities should emulate the approach taken in Kuala Lumpur to revitalise business centres for Malay small traders and hawkers.

“Don’t neglect the interests of small traders, especially Malay hawkers in our towns,” he said. “We want the greatness of Kuantan, Temerloh, Kota Bharu or Alor Setar not only to be measured by new malls but also by how the state governments and local councils enhance basic facilities, cleanliness, stalls, kiosks, hawker centres and trading spaces.”

Anwar said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) had been instructed to redevelop between 60 and 70 stalls and also provide a more comfortable food court for the benefit of Malay hawkers and petty traders.

He said the contributions of Malay traders to society, including urban communities, was significant as 80% of the people preferred to shop at small stalls.

The prime minister’s remarks were made at the golden jubilee dinner of a coalition of Malay hawkers and petty traders’ associations.
