True Fitness: Minister urges members to make claims at Consumer Claims Tribunal

Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin has urged disgruntled members of the fitness club, True Fitness Malaysia, to submit complaints and claims with the Consumer Claims Tribunal.

"The tribunal can handle claims up to RM25,000 for each person," he said when asked if there were complaints by its members to the ministry following the closure of the club.

Hamzah said this at a media conference in conjunction with the announcement of the fixed maximum prices of controlled price goods for the Festive Season Price Control Scheme, 2017 Aidilfitri here today.

True Fitness, which is based in Singapore, announced the shutting down of all its gymnasium and spa facilities in Malaysia via its website on Saturday, after closing its operation in Thailand on Friday.

The company, which had been operating for 12 years in Malaysia, was reported to have closed down its operation following unprofitable business.
