Smallholders from Kea Farm in Cameron Highlands, whose stalls are to be demolished next month, picketed in front of the Prime Minister's office.
About 20 of them stood for two hours asking for a proper alternative site before the stalls are torn down.
PSM Cameron Highlands secretary Suresh Kumar, who helped organise the protest, said the smallholders were not against the move but were worried that their income would be affected.
The protesters handed over a letter to an officer from the Prime Minister's office before moving on to Parliament in an attempt to meet Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Nearly half don't Qualify for My First Home Scheme
Nearly half of the applicants to the My First Home Scheme that enables young Malaysians to own a home didn't meet the eligibility criteria.
From a total of 1062 actual appications, 368 (36.6%) applications had been approved by banking institutions, while 505 (47.5%) appicants were not qualified.
To qualify, the applicants need to prove they are able to meet their debt obligations by showing evidence of a sustainable income and a good credit history.
The scheme, launched in March last year, is to allow young working adults obtain 100% financing from banking institutions to purchase their first home valued at a maximum of RM220,000 for single applicants or a maximum of RM400,000 for joint applicants of husband and wife with household income below RM6000 per month.
