KUALA LUMPUR: There seemed to be lukewarm response from traders towards the Jalan Raja Ramadan Bazaar here on the first day of Ramadan.
At 5.30pm yesterday, stalls were still being erected on about 60 trading lots. This is less than a quarter of the 344 lots under the marquee tent along the main road.
“The rush usually takes place about 10 days before Hari Raya. Even if we set up early, there will be no customers because people don’t start shopping so early.However, he voiced his displeasure at what he felt was an unsuitable location for the Ramadan bazaar. “I think DBKL may provide portable toilets but these would neither be comfortable nor suitable as prayer rooms.”
