Barber shop in Kuala Lumpur investigated for over-charging foreigners


Malaysia is investigating a claim by a British couple who said they were charged RM120 (S$36) for a haircut in Kuala Lumpur.

A sign outside the barber shop advertised haircuts “from RM19”, according to The Strait Times.

If the allegation is true, the barber could be fined for violating anti-profiteering law. This aligns with the Malaysian government’s attempts to “offer the best services and reasonable prices, as a tourist destination,” as stated by Salahuddin Ayub, Malaysia’s Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, in an interview with the media.

Locals they asked told them that the price should not be more than RM50.
