SHAH ALAM, March 17 (Bernama) -- The Selangor government, through Yayasan Hijrah Selangor, is providing two special Ramadan bazaar sites in the district here to help traders who receive funding from the foundation.

State Housing, Urban Wellbeing and Entrepreneur Development Committee chairman Rodziah Ismail said 62 traders have registered for this initiative that involves 22 traders at the Section 7 site and 40 traders at the Section U3 site here.

She also said traders under the Hijrah Selangor initiative who still have not obtained Ramadan bazaar lots can try for the remaining 20 trading slots in Section U3 by applying to the agency before the first day of the fasting month.

“They can do business at a separate site operated by Hijrah Selangor with a rental price of RM650 for the whole of Ramadan,” she told reporters after the handing over of business permits and ‘cashless’ devices to the Hijrah Selangor Ramadan Bazaar traders here today.

Rodziah said Hijrah Selangor will also cooperate with Beez Fintech Sdn Bhd (bayarlah) which provides cashless devices for use by traders at the Hijrah Selangor Ramadan bazaar sites.

She also said visitors to the bazaars can use the bayarlah QR code to facilitate faster and  easier acceptance of payments from all local banks, Touch 'n' Go, GrabPay and the like.

“So, I hope it can benefit everyone involved in the bazaars and the important thing is that we want the visitors to practice cashless purchases,” she added.
