Bukit Bintang MP Considers Legal Action Over Masjid India Bazaar Controversy

Bukit Bintang Member of Parliament Fong Kui Lun is contemplating legal action against Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) member Mohd Noorhisyam Abd Karim concerning allegations of rent-seeking at the Masjid India bazaar. Fong's aide confirmed that legal counsel is being sought and that a report will be lodged with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Fong's behalf.
Legal Action Under Consideration

Fong Kui Lun is actively exploring the possibility of suing Mohd Noorhisyam Abd Karim, a PPBM member implicated in the controversy surrounding additional charges for Ramadan bazaar stalls in Masjid India. Fong's team is currently consulting with lawyers to determine the appropriate course of legal action. This contemplation of legal proceedings follows accusations by traders that Noorhisyam leveraged political connections to impose at least RM1,500 in extra "rental" fees.
MACC Report to Be Filed

A representative for Fong Kui Lun will submit a report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) regarding the Masjid India bazaar issue. While Fong is currently overseas, his team is coordinating the filing of this report to address the allegations. The aide indicated that traders involved have also been advised to come forward with their accounts and potentially lodge their own reports.
Clarification on Letter of Support

Fong Kui Lun admitted to issuing a letter of support for Mohd Noorhisyam's application to establish stalls in Masjid India. He stated that the intention behind this letter was to assist traders in generating income for the Hari Raya Puasa period. Fong clarified that the approval of the stalls was contingent upon conditions set by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and that no additional charges beyond those stipulated by the local authority should be imposed on the traders.
