Stern action against traders who play tricks on customers, says Hasan.
KOTA BARU: Stern action will be taken against traders who attempt to sabotage implementation of the Goods and Service Tax, the domestic trade minister, Hasan Malek, said today.
He said the ministry and the police were monitoring the traders concerned.
“If there is proof they violate the law, police will take action,” he told reporters. Consumers who have information about any sabotage attempt should lodge a report with the ministry.
Yesterday, Malaysian Chinese Network Association president Ng Lum Yong was reported to have said that many businesses, including mini markets and restaurants, placed price tags stating no GST, aimed at tricking consumers into believing that the tax was not imposed on the items concerned.
