“Several Jalan Petaling shop owners had also complained to me that the rear access to their premises were blocked.Following public complaints that access to the back lane was hindered. Business owners in Jalan Petaling also raised concerns over hygiene and safety. — Photos: CHAN TAK KONG/The Star “Some of the food traders were given temporary licence by DBKL to operate in a 3.3m by 3.3m stall, but they had expanded their stalls and built permanent structures.”Board member Andre Lai, who also took part in the site visit, said the case of illegal structures obstructing public access at Lorong Bandar 16 was similar to the one that had plagued the back lanes of Jalan Sultan.
