If you like exploring the plethora of food at Ramadan Bazaars but if you’re not a fan of the prices, there’s something you can do about it.
You can take pictures or record videos of the food if you find them being sold at unreasonable prices.
Head of Activist of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM), Datuk Nadzim Johan, said that the recording material can be used as evidence to be reported to the authorities or any non-governmental organisation (NGO) that fights for consumer rights, reported Sinar Harian.
“Users need to be smarter in using their smartphones because this step is part of the responsibility to protect their rights. This is because many consumers are not careful enough to report unreasonable food prices.”
Nadzim said that complaints and reports can indeed be made to PPIM, but here’s the setback: some customers don’t remember which store, and when asked, they are not sure about the location of the stall themselves.
Over the years, many unhappy customers have complained about the expensive prices at Ramadan bazaars across the country. You can visit PPIM’s official website for its contact information if you plan to file a complaint about the expensive prices at Ramadan Bazaars.
To those who frequent the bazaars, where do you think sell the food at unreasonable prices?
