Hope any lawyers here could shed some lights on Patrons rights while visiting Hypermarkets in Malaysia. I walked into an establish Hypermarket today with a computer back pack and there were 2 security guards insisted that they will use the plastic wire tie to lock up the zip of my bag before entering the area.
I refuse to be tie up based from my past observations that they did not practice across the board on all customers. More over there were NO pin up RULES & REGULATIONS for entering into their premise. I then went to the CS, but the store manager was on leave therefore no one is taking responsibility into their hands to explain such a practice or it is a company policy.
May I know on what grounds, these hypermarket operators are allowed to practice such discrimination practices selectively on what we are carrying with our valuable personal belongings with a back pack?
Do they (hypermarket operators) by law allowed to do so?
If yes, I believe the Ministry of Trade would have bylaws that to instruct them to pin all these rules and regulations at the entrance of their premise before we enter. The car parking terms was pin up but I searched both entrance there were none T&C or R&R being pin up. I have also asked CS if there were any R&R for their Patrons to enter subject to their discretion to wire tie our bags? From my observations, Ladies handbag also has zip but they were not requested to be tie up?
Hope some Lawyers here are wiling to shed some light for this old man here that felt humiliated by these operators imposing such selective rulings.
Thank you in advance.
