City Hall never overcharged for trading sites in Masjid India: Loga Bala

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall has never overcharged rental for trading sites in the Masjid India area, the Dewan Negara was told today.
Deputy Federal Territories Minister Senator Datuk Dr Loga Bala Mohan (pix) said the rental did not exceed RM1,000.
"If there is evidence of overcharging of rental, City Hall will take the appropriate action," he said when replying to a question from Senator Datuk Seri Syed Ibrahim Kader.
Syed Ibrahim had claimed that the rental for a site at the venue had reached RM10,000.
On trading licences for Ramadan bazaars, he said these were issued based on stipulated conditions.
He also said that the e-Licence registration system was used to detect duplicate applications and blacklisted applicants.
Meanwhile, when approached at the Parliament lobby, Loga Bala said the ministry would blacklist successful applicants of Ramadan bazaar trading sites who sold the sites to others.
City Hall conducted enforcement operations at all Ramadan bazaars, he said. — Bernama
