KAPIT: Coffeeshop and restaurant owners operating here and in Song Bazaar are reminded to strictly adhere to the relevant council laws (Local Authorities Ordinance 1996, Local Authorities By-Laws 1999) and the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumers’ Affairs Association’s Price Control Act.
The chairman of Kapit Coffee Shop and Restaurant Owners’ Association (Kapit CSROA) Ma Tian Ho said this while chairing the association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the association’s premises on Wednesday evening.
“For the wellbeing of our members, I would like to remind all of us to strictly adhere to the relevant laws of the Local Authority and the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumers’ Affairs Association’s Price Control Act.
“The government through relevant enforcement agencies will enforce the laws strictly. The enforcement officers from the Public and Environmental Health division of Kapit District Council and Kapit Health Department and also the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumerism are very active in conducting random checking every now and then.
“Therefore it is in our own interest to keep our premises clean and offer our goods and services at reasonable price so as to avoid unnecessary complaints,” he stressed.
Ma also called on all members to be united in looking after their social welfare.
He added that the association over the years had organised many corporate social responsibility activities like mass blood donation campaign, assistance to needy students and donation of teaching aids to SJK©Hock Lam, Kapit and SJK©Hin Hua, Song.
