KUCHING, Nov 12 2026: Kuching South City Council (MBKS) has called on residents to support hawkers at Bintawa Market which marked its second anniversary since its upgrade on Nov 11, 2024.
The city council carried out the upgrading works to improve trading conditions for hawkers and make the market more comfortable for shoppers.
It hopes more residents will use the upgraded facility so that the improvements translate into more business for traders who earn their living there.
Bintawa Market offers fresh vegetables, meat, fish and other daily necessities, while its cooked food stalls serve local delicacies.
Residents can stop by for breakfast, buy ingredients for the day's meals or take home food from the stalls.
Today, MBKS Mayor Wee Hong Seng, led a group of councillors, celebrating the market's secondary anniversary.
The celebration also gave Wee and the councillors an opportunity to spend time with the hawkers and recognise their daily efforts.
The hawkers serve residents who depend on the market for their daily shopping, while the cooked food stalls provide a place for neighbours to sit down for a meal and catch up.
Wee encouraged residents of Bintawa and surrounding neighbourhoods to shop and dine at the market regularly.
He invited those who usually come for groceries to try the cooked food stalls, and those who stop by for a meal to also pick up fresh produce to take home.
He said regular customers make a difference to small traders, and bringing along family and friends can help introduce more people to what the market has to offer.
