Do not sell or lease retail business licence for quick profits, warns ministry sec-gen
- A + A KANGAR (May 14): The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) will not hesitate to take action such as revoking the retail business licences of individuals who sell or lease their business licences, especially in border towns.
