SIBU (Dec 20): Hawkers at Sibu Central Market resumes daily trading today except its food court, says Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) market and petty traders standing committee chairman Albert Tiang.
However, food and drink stall operators at level one of the market will continue operating on alternate days.
“Merchandise, wet and dry markets and those selling live poultry at the central market can trade every day except the food court due to insufficient tables and chairs for diners in strict compliance with the standard operating procedures. We will study measures to be taken to allow them to trade daily,” Tiang told reporters at the central market yesterday.
He said the council will monitor daily trading for two to three weeks to see if it triggers more Covid-10 positive cases in the market and reminded both hawkers and visitors to strictly observe SOP.
He hoped resumption of daily operations would draw more visitors and improve sales. Night market traders are still operating on alternate days for the time being.
With Tiang were Persatuan Penjaja Bersatu Bahagian Sibu Dan Meradong Sarawak chairman Chiong Siong Nguong, secretary Ting Chuong Chiok, Persatuan Pemilik Kedai Kecil Sibu chairman Tie Chi Chai, Sibu Hawkers Welfare Association chairman Captain Tan Hong Kiang, Sibu Central Market Hawkers Association executive advisor Yiing Chung Ming and Joseph Siew of the council’s Town Health and Services Division (Market and Hawker Management Unit).
