Trader R. Balakrishnan, 65, said he was supposed to open for business at the bazaar on October 12 but had yet to do so because of the thugs’ prohibition. <br /> <br />“Saminathan’s group has run the bazaar for years. He only allows his friends to operate there. Now that MBPJ has stepped in, he doesn’t like it,” he said. <br /> <br />Balakrishnan claimed that he was never able to open a stall there in the past because of Saminathan. <br /> <br />“This year, I saw in the newspapers and banners that we can apply to MBPJ, and I did, but now they are trying to stop us from operating,” he said.
