KUCHING: The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry should not have been too hasty in confiscating paintbrushes suspected to be made from pig bristles and issuing compounds against traders.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak disagreed with the conduct of enforcement officers during the nationwide ops against traders selling the paintbrushes earlier this week, suggesting that the ministry should have advised traders to label the paintbrushes accordingly.
