CITY FOLKS THRONG CHOW KIT MARKET FOR AIDILFITRI ESSENTIALS
CITY FOLKS THRONG CHOW KIT MARKET FOR AIDILFITRI ESSENTIALS
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) - Raja Bot Market or better known as Chow Kit
Market remains the focus of city folks buying essential goods to celebrate
Aidilfitri in a few days.
A Bernama survey found crowds of mostly houswwives thronging the market to
buy goods like rice, flour, onion and dry chilli because of the lower price.
Despite price increases, Chow Kit market still manages to offer better
prices to attract customers from other areas like Cheras and Gombak.
Civil servant Rogayah Embok, 46, who lives in Cheras said she came to shop
at Chow Kit market as she found price of dry goods to be less expensive.
"Since I work at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, I get to compare prices and find
them to be cheaper. Moreover. I can haggle with sellers at Chow Kit," she told
Bernama here Sunday.
Zaitun Osman, 48, a teacher from Gombak, said Chow Kit market offers
daily essentials that are cheap and of high quality.
"I am picky when buying goods, especially beef and will choose the batang
pinang section as it is good for rendang cooking," he said.
Not far from Jalan Chow Kit is Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the place where
Muslims throng to buy their Aidilfitri clothings and cookies.
Most of the dealers are offering last minutes discounts as high as 60-70
percent on clothings.
"Very interesting and profitable as the goods are cheaper than those at
supermarkets," said Rosli Kamad, 39, who has just bought clothings for his
children.
Siti Saleha Abdul Ghani, 27, a clerk from Pahang said she and her husband
chose to shop here because of the cheaper price and variety of clothings.
"Traders even hold auction of Raya clothings at night," she added.
Kuih seller Syahrizal Saad, 25, said despite the high price of home made
biscuits, buyers could still pay $55 for three boxes.
"The 22 types of biscuits get overwhelming response from buyers as they are
made without using artificial colouring," he added
