“We will also paint the two-storey market and replace drain covers.
“At present, we have requested our enforcement department to ensure traders do not set up stalls on the sidewalk.
“We have also warned traders that action will be taken against them if they flout the rules,” he said.
Ang said the works would be done in stages and market traders would not have to move out temporarily. There are 298 traders at the market.
“We are hoping that when the entire area is upgraded, more people will do their marketing here as well as eat at the food court on the first floor,” he added.
