The matter has been approved by the state government’s executive council meeting recently, and the Johor Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry is taking steps to coordinate and implement the regulation with other relevant agencies, said Johor investment, trade and consumer affairs committee chairman Lee Ting Han.
“Among the objectives of this move is to create responsible business practices that safeguards the rights of consumers by displaying the prices and information related to their products visibly.
