TWO years after their shops in Hulu Kelang were demolished to make way for the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) project, 39 affected traders finally received the RM8,000 token sum promised by the project developer.

Former trader Ismaniza Ismail, who operated a metal working business, said the money would be used to offset some of the rental for their shop in Selayang.

“Hopefully, this will help sustain our business there for a while longer. It is better than nothing, ” she said.
