PADANG BESAR: The community here has urged the state government to open the Wang Kelian shopping arcade soon in an effort to revive economic activities in the border town, after the free-flow zone between Malaysia and Thailand was abolished in 2015.
A resident, Zul Zalina Othman, 40, said he hoped the state government could expedite the process to allow shops to operate at the arcade, which has been completed for quite some time already.
“It is also hoped that the arcade operator would not impose strict conditions on traders and allow them to sell products from ,” he said. Md Razak said tourists at Wang Kelian View Point often ask what attractions are available in Wang Kelian, which leaves him disheartened as he too was unsure about this.
“The department has advertised to get local traders to operate stalls there and we received encouraging response at first, but out of 32 business letters issued, only eight traders responded,” he said.
