Accepted Answer

525 Vacant Stalls Available for Hawkers on Penang Island

As of July 26, there are 525 vacant stalls available for application by small traders and hawkers on Penang Island. This initiative is part of broader measures approved by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) to support small businesses and hawkers.
Six-Month Waiver for Hawker Fees and Licences

The MBPP full council meeting approved a six-month waiver for fees and licences pertaining to hawker complexes, hawker sites, and all individual hawkers. This measure aims to alleviate financial burdens on these operators during the current economic climate.
Twelve-Month Waiver for Market Organising Permits

In addition to the waivers for individual hawkers, the organising permits for all night markets, morning markets, weekly markets, and farmers’ markets have been waived for a period of 12 months. This provides extended relief for market organisers.
Fifty Per Cent Discount on MBPP Commercial Premises Rental

Furthermore, MBPP has sanctioned a 50 per cent discount on the rental of its 247 commercial premises on the island for the upcoming six months. This is intended to assist tenants operating within council-owned properties.
Moratorium on Assessment Rate Payments

A moratorium has also been implemented for assessment rate payments until December 31 of this year. This deferral allows property owners under MBPP's jurisdiction to postpone their rate payments.
