Question

Accepted Answer

Traders who fail to maintain cleanliness can face fines and forfeiture of their deposits.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun warned that traders who do not keep their Ramadan and Aidilfitri bazaar sites clean could be fined. He also said that failure to maintain cleanliness may lead to the forfeiture of traders’ deposits. The warning was issued alongside his call for organisers and concession workers to manage cleanliness properly so there is no need for them to clear rubbish on the morning of Raya.
Fines may be imposed for poor cleanliness
Aminuddin said the cleanliness of bazaar sites must be managed well. He warned that traders who fail to maintain cleanliness can face fines. The reminder was directed at those operating stalls in Negeri Sembilan’s Ramadan and Aidilfitri bazaars.
Traders’ deposits may be forfeited
In addition to fines, he stated that the consequence of not maintaining cleanliness could include forfeiture of traders’ deposits. This was presented as a direct outcome of failing to keep the bazaar area clean. The warning was tied to the expectation that cleanliness should be handled during the bazaar period.
The warning focused on not leaving rubbish behind
Aminuddin issued a specific warning not to leave rubbish behind at the bazaar sites. He said he did not want concession workers to have to clean up scattered trash on the morning of Raya. The emphasis was on preventing last-minute clean-up burdens by ensuring rubbish is managed properly.
Cleanliness responsibilities sit with bazaar organisers and local authorities
He described how, in Negeri Sembilan, non-governmental organisations or groups typically coordinate stalls and apply for permits from their respective local authorities. These permits cover areas including waste management, electricity, water, and cleanliness. Against this backdrop, he urged proper handling of cleanliness responsibilities to avoid penalties for traders.
