PUTRAJAYA: Plans are in the pipeline to review the maximum permissible number of sales allowed in Malaysia every year, over concerns that consumers may get confused with prices of goods that may not reflect any actual discount.

Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the Government needed to reevaluate if a maximum of eight sales a year was a good idea.

“We have to study this in terms of the pros and cons for consumers. Holding a sale is not an issue for businesses, but the consumers may get confused if there are too many sales going on,” he said at a press conference here.
