On 26 May 2023, the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice organised a seminar titled “Consumer Protection in Singapore – Past Enforcement & Future Priorities”.
Recently, Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (“CCCS“) has been active in taking actions against businesses regardless of whether they operate online or offline, for engaging in unfair practices as defined under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003. At the seminar, Alvin Tan and Joshua Seet from the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice, joined by Mr Ming Jie Ng, CCCS Acting Director of the Consumer Protection Division, discussed Singapore’s consumer protection enforcement regime. They also discussed consumer protection concerns and developments from the e-commerce and e-platform angle, as well as CCCS’ concerns and priorities for the future.
