If there're chargeable offences to be brought to mobile air, regarding the warranty scam, then more questions will be asked like why did the police ask the victims to report to CASE or civil suit in the past?

CASE should also be more equip with more understanding of the law if these are criminal cases that suppose to be referred to the police, coz you can't mediate if the actions are illegal.

Because when CAD comes into the picture, it's usually for commercial related offences, such as tax evasion. [lipsrsealed]

But in the end, if the charges are unrelated to the warranty scam cases, it brings us back to square one, the current law is still inadequate to protect the consumers.

If it's related, the consumers and CASE will be wiser to the available laws, and policeman cannot act blur and push everything to CASE or civil suit.

Should be unrelated. Unethical is not the same as illegal.

Cannot underestimate social media liao. Cannot do something that people detest or they will hunt you down and the authorities will have to do something. Yang Yin and Mobile Air good example.

But is for good cause leh. Not as if public make a nuisance out of nothing.

All of sudden, police become very powerful :D

Maybe due to ministers' pressure :D

 

Anyway, as long as there are actions taken by garmen to prosecute these errant owners, I am all happy to see :)

BY CHERYL FAITH WEE

SINGAPORE - Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck met the management council of electronics mall Sim Lim Square to discuss how it can work with the authorities to deal with errant retailers.

The management council is made up of 13 people who own units there.

In a statement released on Monday, Mr Teo said that there needs to be a collective effort among the Government, the Consumers Association of Singapore and industry players such as the mall's management.

He added: "While the police are investigating the case, we are also looking at enhancing our laws, strengthening the enforcement process and continuing with our engagement efforts."

This meeting took place after reports over the last few weeks about errant retailers in Sim Lim Square.

In early November, a Vietnamese tourist was overcharged for an iPhone 6 at Mobile Air, at unit 01-41. He reportedly went on his knees to beg for a refund, but was laughed at and eventually returned only half the amount.

Last month, a shopkeeper from the same shop tried to give a woman more than $1,000 in coins for a refund that had been ordered by the Small Claims Tribunal.

In the same month, a 19-year-old undergraduate was overcharged for warranty fees for an iPhone 6 at Mobile 22 at unit 01-42. She managed to get some money back but had to put up with shopkeepers who shouted at her.

In September, a domestic worker was caught in a dispute over $200 she paid for a phone from Mackin at unit 02-87. She said that her phone and receipt went missing at the shop after its staff distracted her.

In the statement about Monday's discussion, Mr Teo added: "Today's session was useful as we discussed how we could work together to curb errant retailers. Both sides agree that more effective measures must be in place, as such unfair business practices cannot be allowed to continue unheeded.

"The Management Council could implement some preventive measures in the interim as well as take a strong stand against errant retailers.

"There needs to be a collective effort among the Government, Case, industry players such as the malls' management, retailers and consumers.

"We urge consumers to continue exercising caution when making purchases, and retailers to be fair and professional."

Sim Lim Square is now exploring more efforts to raise consumer awareness and notify consumers of errant shops when they step into the mall.

Mr Teo noted: "Both sides agree on the need to better protect consumers - be they locals or tourists - and the rights of the majority of law-abiding retailers, to uphold Singapore's reputation as a retail destination."
