(Mkini) What was meant to be a regular visitation on the job turned into a rowdy confrontation for a group of DAP elected representatives as angry traders gave them a hostile reception.

Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, together with Kampung Tunku state assemblyperson Lau Weng San, and Kota Alam Shah’s V Ganabathirao, who is also a Selangor exco, was paying a visit to a new Deepavali bazaar in Sungai Way this evening.

However, some traders - angry at having to move to the new bazaar from the adjacent street - blocked the elected representatives and local councillors who were accompanying them, demanding that the issue be resolved.
