flag Malaysian traders install private cameras to reduce theft, but gaps remain in night markets.

flag Malaysian market traders, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Penang, are installing private CCTV systems to combat persistent theft, citing inadequate public surveillance despite past efforts by local authorities. flag Traders at the Selayang Wholesale Market and Petaling Jaya markets report a significant drop in thefts after adding cameras, gated entries, and overnight security. flag However, night markets like Batu Lanchang in George Town remain vulnerable due to limited CCTV coverage, leaving vendors exposed to losses. flag While some traders have invested in their own systems, ongoing security gaps highlight the strain on small businesses and the need for better protection in informal market settings.
