Display Clear and Accurate Prices

Market stall operators are reminded to uphold price transparency and conduct ethical business practices by complying with the Price Control (Display of Prices) Order and the Weights and Measures Act, Chapter 151.

 

The reminder was made following a recent joint inspection at Pasar Tani Selayun by the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics, DEPS through the Department of Consumer Affairs, together with the Weights and Measures Unit, SDT, Industry and Business Ecosystem Division, Ministry of Finance and Economy.

 

DEPS found that a number of operators were still found to be either not displaying prices or displaying prices only on certain items. Stall operators are urged to display clear and accurate prices on all items sold, and if found committing repeated offences, may be liable to a compound of up to $1,000.

 

Meanwhile, SDT found two units of measuring and weighing instruments failed to comply with the Weights and Measures Act.

 

A Reminder Notice was issued and the instrument owner is required to correct the issue.  Infringements under the Weights and Measures Act, may result in a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for up to 3months, or both.
