TANGSEL The presence of modern markets should not erode traditional markets and small traders, said Deputy Mayor of Tangerang Sahrudin.
"We must preserve and improve the position of traditional markets as drivers of the regional economy," said Sahrudin, Antara, Sunday, May 28.
He explained that the existence of traditional markets must be maintained, because the lower middle class people still really need it.
"It doesn't mean that traditional markets don't play a lot of roles, let alone being marginalized," he said.
He also mentioned that the development of modern markets is part of the logical consequences of socio-economic development and city development.
"This, of course, is in line with the lifestyle of urban communities, who want a clean and comfortable shopping place," he said.
With the presence of modern markets, it is hoped that they can provide proper facilities for market traders so that market traders can trade in a proper, orderly, safe and comfortable place.
Moreover, the Tangerang City Government has also built a number of markets including the Malabar market, the Main Market and so on, which have also provided convenience and benefits to the community in shopping for daily necessities.
"And of course, it also adds to the choice of shopping for the community. We also appreciate the market developers who have involved MSME players in the Pinang area in today's activities," he said.
