SHOPPING for new clothes in the run-up to Hari Raya is a yearly delight for Malaysia’s shoppers.

But for those looking for a good bargain as well as vintage and rare items, they need look no further than the night market at Jalan Raja Bot.

With the view of the Twin Towers in the backdrop and easy public transport access via the KL monorail, this street, which is connected to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Jalan TAR) and Jalan Chow Kit, transforms into a flea market district when the sun goes down. 

More than 200 vendors operate on this street from 10pm to 4am, and is also a popular shopping destination for youth. – June 12, 2018.
