LETTER | Fine-tune the Consumer Protection Act 1999 to protect travel agents

LETTER | Recently, Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Rosol Wahid said the Tribunal for Consumer Claims is an alternative platform, as consumers not satisfied with any goods or services purchased may also seek redress at the civil court.
But consumers would have to pay lawyers to file civil suits with no guarantee of winning and also open themselves to countersuits, whereas the tribunal entertains claims from individual consumers only and not companies.
Hence, small claims courts have been set up in many countries around the world to avoid lengthy and expensive litigations. In Malaysia, this body s official name is Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia (TTPM), and consumers need to pay only RM5 to file a claim.

Tour vehicles won’t save sinking hotels Pix for representational purpose only.
YESTERDAY, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that travelling for tourism is now allowed but only between states under the recovery movement control order (RMCO), but not those still under conditional movement control order (CMCO).
He said those wanting to travel for tourism must use the services of tour agencies registered under the Tourism, Culture and Arts Ministry, and use transport provided by them.
Also, tour agencies will need to get approval from police for cross-border travel.
While travelling, they must proceed directly to the destination at another RMCO state and are not allowed to stop when passing through a CMCO state. They must also reserve their accommodation and tourism activities ahead of the trip.

IN geography, banks are lands alongside rivers. These government reserved lands are known as river reserves and cannot be bought for private use. But left on its own, they could be covered with undergrowth, occupied by squatters or used as illegal dumping grounds.
At long last, the Ministry of Environment and Water (Kasa) had started building trails along riverbanks last year for recreational activities such as jogging, cycling, angling and picnicking.
Although 43 trails totalling 210 kilometres had been built, they remained largely unknown.
If those who cycled for sport or leisure were to be aware, they could have opted for such trails rather than dice with danger pedalling on busy highways or trunk roads. These cyclists would automatically become the ‘trail patrol” ala “highway patrol” and be the eyes and ears for Kasa.
