MELAKA, — Three transport companies in Melaka that failed to provide a reasonable explanation for their service price increases during Op Kesan 2.0, which has been in effect since June 6, will be charged in court next week.
Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Melaka director, Norena Jaafar said that written notices under Section 21 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act (AKHAP) 2011 were issued to the three companies, but they failed to respond within the stipulated time frame.
“Preliminary investigations found that the three transport companies had been approved for ‘fleet card’ application under the Subsidised Diesel Control System 2.0 (SKDS 2.0).
“These companies are among 41 SKDS 2.0 beneficiaries inspected to detect any unreasonable service charge or price increases,” she told reporters at the Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) Pasar Besar today.
