| ===== Ringkasan ===== |

| Pasar Borong Kuala Lumpur yang asal terletak berhampiran kuala pertemuan Sungai Batu dan Sungai Gombak. Ia mungkin mula beroperasi sekitar tahun 1964. Khabarnya, penjenayah terkenal Botak Chin pernah bekerja di sini sekitar 1966-1967, sebelum terjerumus ke dalam kancah jenayah. Terdapat juga rakaman kisah warga berlindung di pasar ini, ketika peristiwa 13 Mei 1969. Ia mula dipindahkan ke Selayang sekitar tahun itu, kemungkinan disebabkan kekerapan banjir dan kes jenayah. Namun terdapat sumber-sumber akhbar dan juga individu yang merakamkan pasar ini masih beroperasi sehingga sekurang-kurangnya tahun 1984. Tapaknya kini menjadi sebahagian Pusat Dagangan Dunia Kuala Lumpur. |

//"Kumpulan Syed Kechik has entered into a joint-venture with City Hall to develop a 55.08 hectare piece of former mining land to the north of Kuala Lumpur into a mini-township. The billion-dollar project for which plans have already been completed by Akitek Tenggara will feature the biggest wholesale market in the area and a velodrome together with commercial and residential buildings. It will also include a comprehensive range of amenities, commercial, shopping complexes, recreation centres and public utilities. The project is located on vacant mined-out land at Selayang in the Federal Territory within 19 km of the city centre. It is envisaged that the scheme, when completed in three to five years, will become a new growth centre of Kuala Lumpur catering for the requirements of Jinjang/Kepong, Batu Caves, Gombak and the Hulu Klang Valley. The scheme is expected to be developed under two packages spread over three years. The first package comprises the development of 10.21 hectares of land for the wholesale market cold rooms, control centre and quarters for the management staff as well as the construction of a velodrome. ..... Development of the land will be in phases with work on the wholesale market and about 250 units of shophouses expected to begin in a month's time. Profits from the development will be shared on the basis of 20 per cent for City Hall and 80 per cent for Syed Kechik Holdings. City Hall, which owns the land, expects a M$74 million return from the land. Under the joint-venture agreement, Kumpulan Syed Kechik will receive a part of the Selayang wholesale market area amounting to 8.5 hectares as compensation for a piece of land it is giving up in Jalan Tangsi."// (The Business Times, 23 August 1984, Page 14: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19840823-1.2.33.5|"Kumpulan Syed Kechik in town building project"]]). | //"Kumpulan Syed Kechik has entered into a joint-venture with City Hall to develop a 55.08 hectare piece of former mining land to the north of Kuala Lumpur into a mini-township.

//"When you are on to a good thing, you will find competition pretty quickly. Tan Sri Syed Kechik, a Kedah-born lawyer and businessman, came into the picture and through his company, Pasar Borong Development Sdn Bhd, set up a new Selayang wholesale market a few kilometres away in Bandar Utara Selayang. The idea was a good one: it was further away from the trunk road and would alleviate congestion; it was closer to town but not too close; and by surrounding the market with four-storey shop-offices, it provided a better looking facade. However, the idea did not find enough support from the wholesalers operating in the market. Apparently, the roads were too narrow and difficult for large lorries to move. Thus, many stayed put and the Selayang Wholesale Market remains to this day. To avoid confusion, the newer market was renamed Kuala Lumpur Wholesale Market. That is how and why there are two wholesale markets competing with each other in the same area! ..... Bandar Utara Selayang where the KL Wholesale Market is located, is also dubbed Little Myanmar as many Myanmar workers congregate here. They run several coffee shops serving Myanmar food; there are stalls along the five-foot ways of Jalan 2/3A that sell “betel chews” made of sireh leaves, gambir, tobacco and chalk. They are mostly operated by women from Myanmar. In terms of landform, the Selayang Wholesale Market sits in a valley and on former tin mining land. Its back is toward the Main Range while its front flat faces a disused lake further away across the road."// (David Koh and Joe Choo @ The Star, 11 June 2009: [[https://archives.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/6/11/pliving/20090611113508&sec=pliving|"From Market To Market"]]). | //"When you are on to a good thing, you will find competition pretty quickly.

//"A Telecoms employee, who was wearing a jungle-green jacket, was shot dead today by one of three gunmen who probably mistook him to be a policeman waiting to trap them at a traffic lights junction here. The gunmen and an accomplice armed with a knife, who had earlier grabbed about $160,000 worth of jewellery from a goldsmith's shop in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, were at that time making their getaway in a mini-bus which they had hijacked. They then left the bus and disappeared into a squatter area. ..... Minutes after the shooting, city chief police officer Datuk Zaman Khan and his CID chief Asst Commissioner Tuffile Nawab Din were informed that the robbers were seen near the wholesale market off Jalan Ipoh - about a kilometre away."// (The Straits Times, 10 October 1984, Page 8: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19841010-1.2.20.7|"Telecoms man shot dead in robbery"]]). | //"A Telecoms employee, who was wearing a jungle-green jacket, was shot dead today by one of three gunmen who probably mistook him to be a policeman waiting to trap them at a traffic lights junction here.
