60 petty traders plan to set up stalls outside Ambiga’s house next week

(Bernama) – Sixty petty traders are planning to open up stalls in front of Bersih 3.0 co-chairman Datuk S. Ambiga‘s house in Bukit Damansara here on Thursday and Friday.

Their spokesman, Kuala Lumpur Petty Traders Action Council chairman Datuk Jamal Md Yunus, said they were calling the action as “Bersih 4.0-Mencucikan Bersih 1,2,3” (Bersih 4.0 – Cleaning up Bersih 1,2.3).
