KUCHING, Jan 10: The eagerly awaited Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Ramadan Bazaar at the Stutong Community Market parking lot will be held from March 2 to 30, 2025, in conjunction with the holy month of Ramadan.
MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng announced that interested vendors can submit their applications starting next Monday (Jan 13) until the deadline on Jan 24 at 4pm.
Application forms will be available at Counter 9 of the MBKS One-Stop Service Centre, located in the lobby of the MBKS building on Jalan Padungan, beginning Jan 13.
Applicants are required to submit the necessary documents, namely a passport-sized photo, a copy of their IC, a copy of their food handler’s course certificate, proof of a medical checkup with typhoid vaccination (at their own expense), and a copy of their marriage certificate (to ensure married couples do not apply for more than one permit).
The permit fee for each stall is RM250, with a refundable security deposit of RM100, consistent with previous years.
“A total of 160 stalls will be available, offering a wide variety of culinary delights to cater to all tastes.
“The allocation includes 60 stalls for cooked food, 54 stalls for cakes, 24 stalls for drinks, and 22 stalls for BBQ,” Wee said during a press conference held at the MBKS building today.
A briefing session and balloting will be conducted on Feb 24 at the MBKS Auditorium to provide vendors with essential information and ensure fair stall allocation. — DayakDaily
