Telcos imposing hidden charges on consumers to face action
Deputy Minister Jailani Johari says any consumer can lodge a report with the MCMC if their complaints to a telco are ignored.
HULU TERENGGANU: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will take action against any telecommunications company (telco) that imposes hidden charges for their services to consumers.
Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Jailani Johari said any consumer whose complaints to a telco go unanswered could report the matter to the MCMC.
“The MCMC has set up a special Consumer Complaints Bureau to handle this matter and if it is not resolved, the commission will take action against the relevant telco.

“But in this matter, the telco should review existing contracts…sometimes the print in the contracts is too small,” he said, adding that this resulted in many consumers not being bothered to read the terms and conditions but signing the contract anyway believing there was nothing important they should know.
