Klang’s Little India traders lament poor Deepavali sales

Khairil Ashraf and Yusof Mohamad | October 14, 2017

They claim the imposition of GST, and the Klang Municipal Council’s decision to relocate them to an unsuitable site has contributed to slow business.

KLANG: With just a few days remaining before Deepavali is celebrated by the Indian community, traders at the “Little India” enclave here are bemoaning that sales have dwindled every year with the past few weeks being the worst.

One stall operator who wished to be named as Madam Dalbir, said the situation had deteriorated over the last two years after she moved to a section earmarked by the Klang Municipal Council (MPK).

“This year has been the most severe. It’s been a few days since we had any people coming,” said the trader who was selling traditional Indian sweets and cakes on a five-foot way before MPK relocated her and several others to a lane behind Little India.

“Since they threw us here, we have had no customers and the Deepavali festival is just a few days away,” she told FMT.

The 55-year-old, who has been doing business for the last three decades urged MPK to move her and the other 20-odd petty traders to the original sites where their businesses thrived.

Textile sales assistant P Lokaswary, 46, who sells traditional attire for men and women, also said profits had dipped this year compared to previous years.

“Last year things were alright but this year has not been so. The customers are not coming. People are not even buying sarees like before,” she said.

She said two reasons for the decline in sales were the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) at a standard rate of 6%, and the relocation of the traders to an unsuitable site.

Stall operators say their businesses suffered after they were relocated to the new site.

“Two years ago, we had many small stalls in the area that attracted many people who would go around to make their purchases,” she said. “That has not happened this year.”

FMT found Indian businesses along the main road of Jalan Tengku Kelana within the Little India area to also be quiet and experiencing slow sales.

Deepavali, the festival of light, will be observed on Oct 18 by followers of the Hindu, Sikh and Jain religions throughout the world.

Sexual Assault in KL by Ex-Estonian PM Delegation

jkloh — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 17:56:15 +0800

A former Estonian prime minister and his delegation have been accused of sexual assault at a party in Kuala Lumpur, sparking controversy in his home country.

The incident has also sparked calls for the former prime minister, Taavi Roivas, to resign from his current post as vice president of the Estonian parliament.

Estonian portal err.ee, citing Estonian language daily Eesti Päevaleht, reported that multiple cases of assault, ranging from verbal to physical, allegedly took place at a bar in a Kuala Lumpur hotel where Roivas' delegation visited.

Roivas' delegation had attended the party after ending an official trade visit related to the technology sector on Sept 21.
A woman said she was “aggressively” kissed by the perpetrator before he pulled up her dress and groped her, according to the report.

A “delegation member” was also described to have poured a drink over a woman at the party, saying “I wanted to make you wet”.
Another woman was also pushed into a swimming pool at the bar.
Malaysiakini has reached out to the police which said they are checking whether any police reports have been lodged.
The report did not specify if Roivas was personally involved in the sexual harassment or only his members of his delegation.

Roivas, in a statement, apologised “personally as well as in the name of all of the delegation” to all those who were affected by the incident, according to the report.

The report added the Roivas had met with the complainant to persuade her against "naming any names".

Estonian Parliament president Eiki Nestor called the incident "condemnable", adding that Roivas must decide whether he should resign, according to a separate report by the portal.
