The High Court has granted a permanent injunction against electronics wholesale company Cyber Maestro, in response to numerous complaints to the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) against the company’s trade practices.

These included overcharging, exerting undue pressure or influence to enter into a transaction and misleading consumers about the prices and availability of goods, said STB in a press release announcing the granting of the injunction yesterday.

The complaints did not cease despite notifications from the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) as well as requests to resolve the complaints amicably and refrain from further unfair trade practices, the tourism board said.

CASE has listed Cyber Maestro among the top tenants in Sim Lim Square with the highest number of consumer complaints from July to September. The store, which is located at #02-77 of the building, has had seven complaints made against it.

The management council of Sim Lim Square said yesterday that the retail complex has been cast in a negative light “in the eyes of the public in Singapore and overseas”.

“Despite our best efforts, the problem persists,” it added.

It also called on the authorities to look into the issue of errant retailers in Sim Lim Square “seriously and urgently and to take a tough stand against the recalcitrant retailers”.
