Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned that Ramadan bazaar licences found to have been resold will be revoked immediately. He stressed that this is necessary as some parties have been selling licences for easy profits. The Prime Minister said that Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has already revoked licences of traders who engaged in this practice and other local authorities should follow suit. Anwar also called for stricter enforcement against corrupt practices, including at ports and airports.
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has warned that Ramadan bazaar licences found to have been resold will be revoked immediately.
"If there is an association that charges a small fee for monitoring and cleanliness, I can understand, but not this . So, we must make sure we know who gets the licence, his job. If he transfers the licence, revoke it immediately,” Anwar said during a meeting with the staff of the Prime Minister's Department here on Monday .
"So, I hope this strict action in Kuala Lumpur sets an example; an example of good implementation. Imagine, people are trying to earn extra income during Ramadan to prepare for Aidilfitri with their families, but there are those who impose additional charges beyond the set rate.The Prime Minister emphasised that if action is not taken against such issues, they could lead to a greater breakdown of governance in the country.
"I believe this also needs to be carried out at ports and airports. We can see some orderly and efficient systems now but we have also noticed several violations that we need to monitor,” said Anwar.
