KUCHING, Nov 12: Kuching South City Council (MBKS) has urged residents in Bintawa and surrounding neighbourhoods to support hawkers at Bintawa Market by making it their regular destination for groceries and meals.

MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said regular patronage would help sustain the livelihoods of small traders and ensure that the benefits of the market’s upgrading works translated into increased business opportunities for hawkers.

Wee, together with MBKS councillors, today joined the hawkers in celebrating the second anniversary of the market’s upgrading, which was completed on Nov 11, 2024.

The upgrading works were undertaken by the council to improve trading conditions for hawkers while providing a more comfortable and convenient environment for shoppers.
