KUALA TERENGGANU: The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry will refer to the deputy public prosecutor to determine the next course of action against a floating restaurant operator in Langkawi who allegedly charged a customer RM1,968.80 for a sea bass weighing 7.48kg recently.

Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid said the ministry had given an extension until Nov 17 to the operator to respond to the notice given, but still failed to obtain complete and detailed documents to enable further investigations to be carried out.
