SIBU, April 7: Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) has cancelled the Ramadhan Bazaar at Dataran Tun Tuanku Phase 2 in view of the rising number of Covid-19 cases there.

Chairman Clarence Ting in a statement today said applicants who had registered for the Bazaar will not be able to operate at the location as originally stated.

Instead, new and existing operators who operate in front of their homes will be allowed to open.
