SETAPAK: The problems of hawkers and indiscriminate parking in Taman Bunga Raya here were not "ignored", as Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)'s corporate communication manager Anwar Mohd Zain said continuous action was taken.
"Last year, we compounded 1,367 hawkers in the area and seized 93 tables, 434 chairs and 104 other items. Meanwhile, up to last month, we issued 354 compounds and seized 15 tables and 74 chairs," he told The Malay Mail.
"Traders who violated their licenses have been issued with warning notices forcing them to adhere to rules and regulations."
Anwar also said the parking woes were found to have been caused by students of the nearby Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) College.
"Many students rent terrace houses in the Taman Bunga Raya neighbourhood and the number of vehicles in each household exceeds its parking capacity, causing them to park outside their house perimeters and therefore contributing to the traffic obstruction," he said.
Anwar was responding to a July 13 report in The Paper That Cares highlighting the predicament of Taman Bunga Raya residents who are fed up with problems they attribute to the private college students and evening roadside hawkers.
The area's Rukun Tetangga chairman Amir Hakim Ahmad Dahalan said the indiscriminate parking by college students during the day and negative influence of hawkers in the area tested the residents' patience.
He appealed to the authorities for assistance, claiming that not much action had been taken.
Amir also said residents were concerned by the increasing number of street crimes over the past two years which attributed to the burgeoning presence of non-residents in the area.
