The Duta-Kelang Highway, otherwise known as DUKE Highway (above), which cuts across the Setapak town like a sore thumb, missing the mosque on one side and over the carpark across the road, has contributed to the demise of the Setapak Wet Market.
What's left of the operators at the market is down there. they are no long visible from the road like the old days.
Yes, there was once a big market at the corner of the hige parking lot here (arrowed). About 10 stalls are located here, selling anything from pork to anchovies and joss sticks. Today, half of them folded business and more will probably move on to another site. Development has killed yet another character of a quaint township!
