KUALA TERENGGANU: Traders had better think twice before raising prices following the recent pay rise for civil servants.
A mamak restaurant here, which charged RM1.80 for a glass of iced Milo – about 20sen to 30sen more than the usual price – has been hit with a RM22,500 compound fine.
As a deterrent to others, enforcement officers from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry also seized food and drinks worth about RM750 and tore down the shop’s signboard.
State enforcement chief Abdul Ghani Harun said the fine was the maximum for the offence and the operator had 14 days to settle the summonses.
“This is the first time that the state enforcement squad had meted out the maximum penalty against a trader for failure to display the price of goods and for indiscriminately increasing the price,” he said.
In Banting, Selangor, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal said its enforcement officers had inspected 15,206 premises since the pay rise was announced.
Crazy government, go and catch some real thieves, and I will give you my best applaud, but instead working for good better society, you guys pounding on the mamak guy for the petty change in your pocket? Go home and sleep la....... really bullshitting all these officials....
true words from me .... ........ ..
