IPOH: For the first time in 36 years, the Ipoh Central Market will undergo renovation works, says Perak housing, local government, public transport and tourism committee chairman Datuk Nolee Ashilin Mohd Radzi.
She said the Ipoh City Council would be requesting for a RM1mil allocation from the Housing and Local Government Ministry soon.
“This is not only for the safety of some 830 traders there, but also for the safety of market goers, ” she told reporters during her visit to the market on Tuesday .Nolee added that the upgrading works would be conducted according to sections, and the feedback received from the traders on the works have been encouraging.
“However the section where vegetables, seafood, mutton and beef are sold have not been upgraded since 1984, and is now looking rundown. Nolee also said gotong-royong activities at the market have been carried out twice to prevent the spread of dengue and chikungunya cases.
