New E-Commerce Bill to Strengthen Online Transaction Laws Tabled Next Year, Says Minister


Domestic Trade Minister Armizan Mohd Ali announced that a new bill to strengthen Malaysia’s e-commerce legal framework will be tabled in Parliament next year. The current review, which began in April and ends in August, aims to address gaps in regulating electronic transactions, as existing laws mainly rely on the Consumer Protection Act. Armizan emphasised that regulations must support sector growth, noting concerns over tax inequality from foreign platforms and the need for mechanisms to regulate them. The review also focuses on consumer protection, manipulative algorithms, and recent platform fee hikes, with over 300 stakeholders consulted so far.
