Lately local authorities have been frequenting retailers and charging them for logos and signages of brands inside their own premises.“In a department store if you have 125 brands with four signages each then you end up paying RM50,000. If you then have 50 branches throughout the nation it now becomes RM2.5 million,” Teo said.
Malaysian Garments Marketeers Association president President Datuk Seri Tan Thian Poh speaks during a press conference in Petaling Jaya May 29, 2019. — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim “This is wrong as businesses are always trying to reduce their costs so the consumers can benefit from it. If the government doesn’t help by intervening here, then eventually all these costs will be transferred onto the consumer.
President of Bumiputera Retailers Association Datuk Wira Ameer Ali Mydin said if there are no proper guidelines in place it could lead to corruption and bribery.“Take for example an enforcement officer comes to Mydin and sees 20 signages that they feel needs to be charged. However, after some discussion said officer reduces the payment to just two signages based on negotiations and perhaps the mood of the person at the time.
Why does it feel anything under pakatanharapan_ is actually getting more absurd & there are no real control on its enforcement officers especially the Municipal authorities.
