BETONG: The RM5 million Pasar Tamu Betong, which is expected to be fully completed by the end of August this year, will provide more comfortable spots for hawkers as well as buyers.
Layar assemblyman Gerald Rentap Jabu, when met at the pasar tamu here yesterday, said the new pasar tamu was just waiting for the final mechanical and electrical work as well as inspection by the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba).
“When completed, Pasar Tamu Betong will be able to accommodate 96 hawkers including those currently trading by the roadside.
“I hope that the hawkers will always keep the pasar tamu clean as I believe it will be an attraction to the public,” he told reporters, adding the project was proof that the state government had been paying attention to problems faced by hawkers in Betong.
Also present were Betong Resident Friday Belik and Betong District Council secretary Charlie Keling.
