THE licence renewal process for hawkers and petty traders at Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is under control and follows the standard operating procedures to minimise risks of Covid-19 infection.
Beginning last year, DBKL made it compulsory for licence holders to renew in person at its headquarters in Jalan Raja Laut.
Renewal cannot be done online and runners or representatives are not allowed to act on behalf of the licence holder, to avoid cases of fraud.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 15): The Federation of Malay Hawkers and Petty Traders Association of Malaysia (GPPPKMM) has urged the Government to consider allowing night markets to operate in areas placed under the Movement Control Order (MCO).
Its secretary-general Mohamed Zamri Mohammed said the traders would comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) to be able to earn their income during this challenging period.
“Traders are mostly from the B40 category, and part of them are living hand-to-mouth with no savings, so they might be able to survive for a week or two, but what will happen if the MCO is extended?” he said while appearing as a guest on the Ruang Bicara programme aired on Bernama TV tonight.
