Selangor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) recorded 67 cases of traders flouting regulations during an eight-day operation.
Selangor KPDN director Muhamad Hanif Asa’ari said “Ops Pantau 2026” inspections, which ran from Feb 19, covered 1,284 premises across the state.
This included at Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri bazaars, public markets, supermarkets and grocery stores.
Of the cases recorded, 35 involved the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 and 26 under the Weights and Measures Act 1972.
Three cases were also recorded under the Control of Supplies Act 1961; two under the Consumer Protection Act 1999; and one under the Trade Descriptions Act 2011.
“Types of offences included failure to display price tags, using unverified weighing instruments and misleading price marking.
“Other offences involved the selling of controlled goods without a permit, and trading with invalid trademarks,” said Muhamad Hanif.
He said this after a monitoring operation at the Ramadan bazaar of Stadium Shah Alam in Section 13.
According to Muhamad Hanif, Selangor KPDN had deployed the Consumer STAR Van at key locations, including at Ramadan bazaars, for consumers to lodge complaints directly with the ministry.
“The van acts as a mobile counter, helping consumers get information quickly and enabling faster action,” he said in a Bernama report.
Muhamad Hanif said Selangor KPDN, in collaboration with local authorities, organised 16 “Bazaar Ramadan Rahmah” (BRR) throughout the state offering Menu Rahmah at affordable prices.
“In addition, the Selangor BRR introduced two new KPDN initiatives, including the Ihsan Food Bank to reduce food waste and the Patuh initiative to ensure that all traders comply with regulations and laws under the supervision of the KPDN,” he said.
