Deal directly with DBKL for trading lots to avoid scams, says Hannah
KUALA LUMPUR: Traders seeking micro-financing and trading lots are advised to deal directly with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) rather than third-party agents to avoid falling victim to scams.
Traders seeking micro-financing and trading lots in Kuala Lumpur are being advised to deal directly with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to avoid falling victim to scams, according to Hannah Yeoh, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories). Those interested, especially low-income groups under eKasih, should contact DBKL officers directly rather than going through third-party agents.
DBKL's straightforward assistance involves a direct application process with priority given to those on the list. Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud explained that this initiative follows findings by the Prime Minister's Advisory Committee, which revealed that most night market traders in the capital rely solely on personal savings, limiting their business sustainability.
This initiative connects traders to various government and private financial institutions' financing systems, providing direct exposure to application processes. Over 90 night market and food truck traders from 65 locations across Kuala Lumpur are participating. Additionally, 12 vacant trading lots are available for eligible applicants, who can receive immediate rental approval at a minimal RM1 per day.
