Unlicensed hawkers in KL have until June 30 to apply for licences
Mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif said hawkers could submit their applications online through DBKL's system or in person at its office or branches.
"We have also set up service counters to assist those who face difficulties filling up the forms to ensure that the application process is smooth," she said in the "Apa Cerita Datuk Bandar" podcast by DBKL on June 26.
Maimunah also said all applications must be submitted directly to DBKL.
"I noticed that there are people who call themselves 'agents' of DBKL, attempting to sell application forms to hawkers.
"DBKL did not appoint anyone and the application forms are free of charge.
"Hawkers who are approached by these 'agents' should lodge a police report," she said.
Maimunah added that the initiative was not only to legalise unlicensed hawkers but also to leverage the local economy in the city.
"Hawkers are an important asset for the city. Therefore, it is important for them to be able to do business in a coordinated and orderly manner based on the law," she said.
Applications for hawker licences opened on June 1 to mobile hawkers without vehicles and temporary hawkers, according to reports.
Mobile hawkers without vehicles are allowed to sell packed food and beverages, flowers and toys, while temporary hawkers are only allowed to sell packed food and beverages within a designated roadside stall or plot with operation hours set by the mayor.
Applicants will be informed if their applications are successful in August.

Ex-Commonwealth Games silver medallist charged with sexually assaulting minor
KUALA LUMPUR: Former national road cyclist Nor Effandy Rosli claimed trial at the Sessions Court today to a charge of sexually assaulting a female trainee, who was 15, last year. The 58-year-old, who was the 1998 Commonwealth Games silver medallist, entered his plea after the charge was read out to him before Judge Norshila Kamarudin. Nor Effandy was accused of sexually assaulting the teenager at about 6pm at a bicycle storage in Taman Desa Keramat, Hulu Klang in June last year. Nor Effandy was a cycling coach when the offence allegedly occurred. The charge was framed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act, read with Section 16(1). It provides a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping. It also carries an additional penalty under Section 16(1) of the same act, which provides a jail term not more than five years and not less than two strokes of the rotan. Deputy public prosecutor Nadiah Malek Fauzie asked the court to set bail at RM15,000 with one surety as the alleged offence involved a minor. As additional conditions, she applied for the accused to report periodically to the police station and to surrender his passport to the court. Lawyer Hamdan Hamzah asked for the bail sum to be lowered to RM5,000 as his client, who has a wife and four children, is his family's sole breadwinner. "My client was released on police bail after investigations. Today, he came to the court of his own accord. "This shows he is not a flight risk. "He is currently working as an assistant enforcement officer at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, earning RM5,000 monthly," he said. After hearing both parties, Norshila set bail at RM8,000 with one surety and allowed the prosecution's additional conditions. "The accused is also prohibited from harassing or contacting the victim, which could disrupt the case," she said. The court set Aug 1 for mention.
