The carnival, organised by Sykt Bina Usahawan, is a platform for hawkers
in the Klang Valley to promote their businesses to a wider public, said
Executive Director Nordin Mat Jais.
He said the 240 booths will feature foodstuffs, products from small and
medium enterprises as well as groups eligible for zakat, and
reflexology services.
There will also be a colouring contest, motor vehicle show, and
counters by government agencies, including for payment of traffic
summonses.
"Some 60 per cent of the participating hawkers are young petty traders including roadside peddlars," he told Bernama here.
Nordin said some 200,000 visitors are expected to the site, which is
near a Sunday farmers' market and passed by many people on their way to
Shah Alam.
To a question, he said the idea for the festival came from his
experiences, from being a hawker with an uncertain income 20 years ago
to being in a job with a monthly net income of at least RM3,000.
"I want hawkers to transform themselves into entrepreneurs and expand their businesses," he said.
