GEORGE TOWN: A famous nasi kandar restaurant in Bukit Jambul was raided Saturday by the Enforcement Division of the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry for selling roti canai at RM2.50.
State Enforcement deputy head Chin Ching Chung said the inspection was carried out at 10.40am after the department received a complaint that the price of roti telur prior to the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) had been RM1.80.
"The restaurant operator is given three days to submit relevant documents and reasons for raising the price before enforcement action is taken," he said when contacted.
He said action would be taken if the operator failed to give reasonable explanation within the stipulated period.
Chin said further investigations revealed that the price of 'roti canai telur' at the restaurant had been raised several times before April from RM1.80 to RM2.20 and the latest to RM2.50 after GST. – Bernama
