DBKL said the individuals responsible for the two separate incidents along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Benteng have been handed over to the police.

“DBKL takes a serious view of these incidents and will not tolerate any aggression towards our officers, who are carrying out their duties in the interest of the public,” it said in a statement.

“DBKL calls on all parties to respect the law and cooperate with the authorities to ensure that Kuala Lumpur remains a well-organised, clean, and safe city for all.”

DBKL said the opportunity to sell at its Ramadan and Aidilfitri bazaars is open to all interested parties who meet the requirements.

It said it has set reasonable rental rates for the stalls, which allow vendors to operate legally and provide an opportunity for small entrepreneurs to run their businesses in a safe and orderly environment.

It also said the presence of vendors in unauthorised locations can cause traffic congestion, block pedestrian paths, and raise issues related to waste management and food hygiene

DBKL said it consistently adopts a prudent approach in carrying out enforcement action, which is only done when individuals continue to operate illegally despite being issued warnings and notices.

DBKL has taken over the management of 40 Ramadan bazaar locations and two Aidilfitri bazaar locations this year.

Last month, the Kuala Lumpur Bumiputera Traders and Hawkers Association alleged that DBKL failed to address several issues concerning Ramadan bazaars, including the resale of trading lots.

Its president, Rosli Sulaiman, told New Straits Times that such problems never occurred when the association managed the bazaar trading lots over the past decades.
