Extra charges: A notice informing customers of the 10 service charge and 6 GST being displayed at a restaurant.

PETALING JAYA: Dining out will be less painful on the pocket when more stringent rules on service charge come into effect, most likely by early next year.

The move will not only bring cheer to consumers but also workers because the proposed new legislation seeks to make sure that any money collected for service will rightly be channelled to the employees.
