DBKL cracks down on unlicensed foreign hawkers
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has ramped up enforcement action against foreign nationals operating as unlicensed hawkers in the city centre. In its latest operation, it conducted a special crackdown on several known hotspots, including Jalan Leboh Pudu, Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, Jalan Petaling and Jalan Sultan. The enforcement was carried out following routine monitoring of the Petaling area, which revealed continued illegal trading activities by foreigners without valid hawker licences. As a result of the operation, 13 seizures were made against unlicensed hawkers under the Licensing of Hawkers By-Laws (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) 2016. All confiscated items were transported to the Jalan Lombong Seizure Depot in Taman Miharja, Cheras, for documentation and record-keeping. City Hall said it would continue monitoring and enforcement from time to time at high-risk locations identified through surveillance. Members of the public with complaints or information are encouraged to come forward or submit details via the relevant City Hall channels.
