LABUAN, Oct 30 — An eatery operator here was compounded after charging an additional RM3 for a serving of soup that was not listed on the restaurant’s displayed price menu.

KPDN Labuan director Junaidah Arbain said the action followed a consumer complaint lodged through the ministry’s e-Aduan portal, with an inspection at about 10am finding that the displayed price list included additional charges for rice and noodles but did not specify the price of extra soup.

“Following the non-compliance detected, we issued a compound to the operator under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering (Price Marking for Goods and Charges for Services) Order 2020, under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011,” she told Bernama today.
