Danger lurks at abandon market

Danger lurks at abandon market

The old market located at Balik Pulau, Penang has been the town’s icon for decades until the new market complex was build several years ago.

The abandon market has been the home to drug addicts who get their daily dosage, according to several shop owners nearby. The premise is dirty and the roof is probably going to collapsed anytime.

MPPP should take immediate steps to prevent people from going through the old market to avoid any mishaps.
