He said the permit was to prevent consumers from being cheated by such an activity which only aimed at increasing the traders' sales.

"Among the conditions to organise a sale are that the traders must ensure that no less than 70 per cent of their goods are put on display during the sale, submit the prices of goods before and during the sale, and hold the sale for at least a month."

He said this to reporters after the launch of state-level 'Back To School Sale' promotion and price reduction campaign by Sarawak Federal Secretary Datuk Md Yahya Basimin here today.

Wan Ahmad Uzir said a total of 1,134 sale permits were issued, while 692 cases of traders organising sale activities without permit were detected in the state between January and November this year.
