TANAH MERAH, 19 JANUARY 2026 (MONDAY) – The Enforcement Division of Tanah Merah District Council (MDTM) carried out a strict enforcement operation against unlicensed hawking activities on the roadsides of the main roads in the district.
The operation was carried out following public complaints and monitoring by the Council of locations identified as sources of traffic congestion and high risk to road users' safety.
During the operation, several business items were seized according to established procedures. This action was taken after the traders involved were found to have failed to comply with initial warnings and violated the small business laws currently in force.
The Council will not compromise with any party that prioritizes personal profit to the detriment of public safety.
The operation focused on three main aspects: preventing congestion caused by customer vehicles stopping on the roadside, reducing the risk of accidents in blind spots or narrow roads, and ensuring fairness for traders who have complied with the law by renting licensed premises or sites.
The MDTM advises the public, especially hawkers, to conduct business activities at locations that have been declared or authorized by the Council. Traders are also urged to promptly apply for or renew a valid business license to avoid any legal action in the future.
