City Hall seizes unlicensed foreign business in Jalan Silang, Lebuh Pudu

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall seized several goods from unlicensed foreign vendors around Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin (Jalan Silang) and Lebuh Pudu here today.

The hall’s enforcement department carried out the special operation targeting foreign traders engaged in business activities without proper authorisation.

This action was prompted by a viral video circulating on social media (TikTok) depicting business operations involving Bangladeshi nationals in the area.

Upon receiving the report, a team of officers and enforcement personnel promptly responded to the scene.

City Hall seized goods from seven foreign vendors, mostly Bangladeshi nationals, who were selling betel leaves, food, and used clothing without the necessary permits.

All confiscated goods have been transferred to the City Hall seizure centre located at Jalan Lombong, Taman Miharja Cheras, for documentation and record-keeping purposes.
