By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The President of the Consumers Association of Brunei Darussalam (CAB) Hj Shadoon Hj Lamzi was re-elected last Saturday during an annual general meeting at the Royal Brunei Golf Club in Berakas.

Hj Shadoon won the election with 12 out of 21 votes. The challenger to his throne was Hj Osman Hj Omar.

The president-elect's next move will be to select his executive committee members for the association.

Attended by 21 CAB members, the meeting was opened by local businessman Dr Hj Abdul Latif Chuchu, president of Persekutuan Peniaga-Peniaga Melayu Brunei (PPPMB).

Hj Abdul Latif, in his address, said CAB is an important association as it fights for the rights of the consumers in the country.

He also urged the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) to be implemented in the country to assist CAB in overcoming problems faced by the consumers.

During the meeting chaired by its treasurer general Hidup Hj Ahmad, CAB members also presented several proposals to better the function of the association.

Among the ideas included an amendment of the constitution by adding new regulations.

Members also suggested looking into problems faced by the consumers as a result of globalisation and borderless trade.

"We must find a way to better protect the consumers. We must think of ways to popularise CAB through a website, so we can attend to their needs promptly," a member said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
