Watch Out For Illegal Perfume
Sellers
By Achong Tanjong
Bandar Seri
Begawan - Some foreign nationals residing in the country are
allegedly carrying out illegal contract business activities by selling
various types of perfumes to customers.
Dressed smartly and armed with
executive business bags they go around shops in Gadong.
They normally target working
individuals, especially kitchen helpers, as they conduct their
business mostly along back lanes near kitchen areas.
The back lanes provide an ideal
backdrop for them to conduct their illicit trade as they are not many
people around.
Customers-targeted are mostly from
the lower income group, with the sellers offering to take payments in
instalments and collect money at the end of the month.
It is not known where the products
are from but the sellers are not authorised direct-selling agents.
According to sources, such illegal
contract business activities are mostly carried out during public
holidays to avoid being detected by law enforcement agencies.
Several foreigners conducting such
illegal contract business activities in the water villages or open
market (Tamu) in the capital have been caught by the authorities and
fined. --
