Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck on Monday (Nov 17) met with the Management Council of Sim Lim Square urging them to implement "some preventive measures" against rogue retailers.

Channel NewsAsia understands that some measures being looked at include warning shoppers against these recalcitrant retailers and informing shop owners if there have been complaints against them.

Another proposal is to tell individual shop owners if they are on the Consumers Association of Singapore's (CASE) list of errant retailers, so as to hopefully change their way of doing business.

There are also plans to work with Government agencies to educate and train retailers on the proper code of conduct.

On its part, CASE said besides more education for consumers, it also wants to work with the Trade and Industry Ministry to see if it can be authorised to prosecute errant retailers.
