Checks on weighing scales stepped up ahead of CNY

Officers from Spring Singapore, the government agency that regulates weights and measures, have stepped up their checks from a weekly basis to almost daily since last week. They ensure weighing equipment is accurate, tamper-proof seals are unbroken and accuracy labels are affixed to the scales.
