SINGAPORE: Ten complaints have been lodged against Huawei over its smartphone promotion that led to long queues and chaotic scenes at its stores ...
The Chinese tech giant's promotion last Friday was held to mark Singapore's 54th National Day.Huawei later posted an apology on Facebook, saying it was unable to cater to"the vast majority" of people who turned up to purchase the phone.
The Consumers Association of Singapore has also contacted Huawei to"understand the quantity of units of Y6 Pro 2019 available for the Huawei promotion and the actual quantity sold". "CASE has also reached out to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore for their assessment of whether there has been a breach of the Consumer Protection Act and if so, the actions to be taken," said the president of the consumer watchdog Lim Biow Chuan.
In a media statement on Monday, Huawei acknowledged that it"clearly underestimated" demand for its promotion. The company added that"to make things right", it is offering a S$100 voucher to 5,000 affected customers.
