This Consumer Awareness Campaign aims to enhance knowledge and awareness, by challenging currently held beliefs and thoughts of consumer behavior. MCA Selangor Consumer Affairs Bureau Chairman cum organizing chairman Sdr Foo Yen Lai urged the public be more “mindful”, whereby Malaysian consumers need to relook at their lifestyles and be willing to make fundamental changes to the way we live and to adapt to the new global scenario in order to act as smart consumers.
MCA Secretary-General cum Chairman of Selangor State Liaison Committee Senator Dato’ Wong Foon Meng was invited to officiate this event. He expressed that consumers should know all their rights in order to better protect themselves against unlawful business practices.
Foon Meng also touched on the 27 services sub-sectors of which the 30% Bumiputera equity requirement was effectively removed under the premiership of Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak. “This will increase the interests of foreign investors into our market,” he said. Foon Meng who is also the Senate President also expressed hopes that under the leadership of Prime Minister Najib, the government will announce more good news in the coming Budget scheduled to be announced in October.
