SHAH ALAM, Sept 18 — Pasar Awam SK10 in Seri Kembangan is set for a facelift by the third quarter of 2028, with RM16.29 million allocated for its redevelopment, including the installation of lifts and escalators.
Subang Jaya mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said RM12 million of the total allocation was provided by the federal government, while the remaining funds will be allocated by the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ).
“The market is expected to be completed by August 28, 2028. This is the first market in Selangor in which the design originated from a competition,” The Star reported him as saying during the project’s groundbreaking ceremony on September 15.
The market’s redevelopment is a joint initiative between MBSJ and the Malaysian Institute of Architects, following a competition held in 2024 to seek innovative design concepts for the facility.
MBSJ Engineering Department director Mohd Ariffuddin Kamari said the two-storey market will be able to accommodate 230 traders, with 172 lots to be built on the ground floor for vegetable, chicken, beef, non-halal products and food sellers.
“The remaining 58 lots on the upper floor will be for dry goods sellers and other small businesses.
“Other features include a community space on the second floor, lockable trading lots, a management office and a cold room,” he said.
Seri Kembangan assemblyman Wong Siew Ki, who was also present at the groundbreaking ceremony, said green energy features such as solar panels will be installed at the new market.
She also urged MBSJ to consider redeveloping the Seri Kembangan multipurpose hall on Jalan Besar, about 230 metres from the market site, into a multipurpose building with at least 600 parking bays.
