BETONG: The Betong Rural Products Market, which will be constructed opposite the old Betong bus station, will be equipped with proper facilities.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu said the market was good news for all traders from rural areas around this town.
“Currently traders from the rural areas have no choice but to sell their goods at pedestrian walkways around the old Betong bazaar area.
“I hope with the construction of the new market, it would make their lives easier,” he said before Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem performed the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday.
Trader Mau Juli from Maja, Betong said she was pleased to have a proper place to sell her goods.
“We have been trading under the hot sun and rain for as long as we can remember. I can now look forward to a more comfortable place to trade,” she said.
Luya Chundang from Lingit, Ulu Anyut said she hoped the new market would be properly organised to benefit customers as well.
“Being organised makes it easier for everyone who visits the place and with the customers being comfortable when visiting the place, I am sure customers will return to visit the place often,” she said.
The new market on a 3.7-acre site will have a ‘jungle look’ and incorporate traditional motifs. Once completed, it will be able to accommodate 196 stalls and will be equipped with public toilets, a management office, refuse disposal area, 245 parking spaces and eight loading bays.
