巴殺

market | From the Malay "pasar", which is from the Arab "bazaar" | There are different markets in Malaysia: Pasar Malam (night market); Pasar (wet market where you get your daily fresh meat and vegetables); Pasar Tani (farmers' market, which is essentially an outdoor wet market) and so on. (from "Pasar malam" in Malay): Pasar malam and night market are not the same, Pasar malam mostly open on Saturday from 6pm to 11pm, around the housing areas, whereas night market opens every night. Most of the Pasar malam open directly at roadside, and some need to block the entire street from 6pm to 11pm. After 11pm the street has to be cleared and it has to be reverted to normal. Most of the time there were garbage left all over, and street cleaners would clear it right away. (source: Wikipedia)
