MCA Launches Blog For Consumers
By: Ramjit
KUALA LUMPUR, April 24 (Bernama) -- MCA today launched a blog for consumers to channel their complaints on consumerism.
The blog, http://www.mcaconsumer.blogspot.com, was launched by MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Kiat in conjunction with a consumer awareness campaign jointly organised by the party and the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (Fomca) here today.
"Consumers should know their rights and don't blame on (bad) luck when they are given imitation goods or are cheated," Ong said in his speech.
He also said that with the liberalisation of 27 service sub-sectors, as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak recently, there was a need for local operators to enhance the quality of their services to be able to remain competitive.
Meanwhile, MCA head of consumers' bureau, Tian Cheng Liang, said a committee had been set up to evaluate cases to be brought to the Consumers Tribunal.-- BERNAMA

This is indeed a good start for consumers to voice their problems and concerns and I hope these are dealt with urgency and efficiency.
ReplyDeleteDear Daniel Ong,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the motivating feedback. We appreciate your comment.
One of the Bureau's task is to work closely with consumer related authorities and NGOs to enhance, improve and update consumer policies and regulations to meet the current challenging economic situation in Malaysia.
We hope that you will continue to visit our blog and support us to fight for consumer rights.
