Blind singer Alfred Ho on Wednesday managed to get back his RM100 paid to a musical instrument shop after referring his case to the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia (TCCM).

Ho, who had recorded an album before, said he was thankful for the outcome and advised consumers who felt cheated to refer their complaints to the tribunal.

"Although I'm blind, I still came here to fight for my rights. My message here is, those with sight should be able to do more for themselves when they feel cheated," he said after the tribunal handed its decision.

Ho, who now sings at a club, said he brought his complaint to TCCM when Woh Fatt Music House Sdn Bhd refused to give back his money for a guitar case bought from the shop.

TCCM president Rahazlan Affandi Abdul Rahim ordered the shop to pay back Ho after advising them to amicably settle the dispute through negotiation as the amount involved was small

Woh Fatt Music House, which was represented by K.C.Liew, was ordered to pay back Ho within 14 days while Ho should immediately return the guitar case after receiving the payment.
