The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry has the right to carry out the raid without waiting for our instruction," said Subramaniam at the International Medical University (IMU) Hospital groundbreaking ceremony, here today.

He added the ministry will work together with Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry to solve the issue.

Subramaniam also advised parents to check the products before buying.
