The Department of Economic Planning and Statistics (DEPS) under the Ministry of Finance and Economy has taken action against several business premises for non-compliance with the Cheap Sale Price Regulations, according to a press release on Wednesday.
At the end of February and in March 2024, DEPS issued four Warning Notices to businesses found to be violating the regulations.
Among the businesses penalised is a textile shop located in Batu Bersurat. Following inspections conducted during the Brunei Mega Sales 2024 event and subsequent consumer complaints, the company was issued a Warning Notice for deceptive sales practices. It was discovered that the prices before and after discounts remained the same, contravening Regulations 16 (1) and (2) of the Cheap Sale Price Regulations.
