Ikhlas Wants MARA, TEKUN To Go Easy On Lahad Datu's Petty Traders

Its president, Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah, said a study conducted by Ikhlas found that majority of them suffered losses as they were forced to close business for several days, especially after the shooting incident at Kampung Tanduo on March 1.

"Almost 100 per cent of their business are affected. Some of them suffer losses because their goods are damaged, like those selling salted fish, who are the worst affected," he told reporters after visiting traders at the Pasar Rakyat here Friday.

He also urged the National Entrepreneurial Group Economic Fund (Tekun Nasional) and the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) to meet the traders to explain the various facilities available for them.
