Yesterday (17 Nov), Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck met with ten members from the Management Council of Sim Lim Square.
During the meeting, the Sim Lim Square MC shared the challenges they faced over the years in dealing with the errant retailers. They also told Mr Teo that they hoped laws could be strengthened to give harsher penalties to such errant retailers.
“Today’s session was useful as we discussed how we could work together to curb errant retailers. Both sides agree that more effective measures must be in place as such unfair business practices cannot be allowed to continue unheeded,” Mr Teo said.
“The Management Council could implement some preventive measures in the interim as well as take a strong stand against errant retailers.”
Sim Lim Square will be exploring more efforts to raise consumer awareness and notify consumers of errant shops when they step into the mall.
“While the Police are investigating the case, we are also looking at enhancing our laws, strengthening the enforcement process and continuing with our engagement efforts. There needs to be a collective effort among the Government, CASE, industry players such as the malls’ management, retailers and consumers. We urge consumers to continue exercising caution when making purchases, and retailers to be fair and professional.” Mr Teo added.
