Undang-undang e-dagang baharu perkemas kawal selia, pertanggungjawaban

The new e-commerce law is set to overhaul the existing Electronic Trading Act 2006, providing a more comprehensive framework for regulating various aspects of online trading. Armizan Mohd Ali, the Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, stated that the proposed amendments were made necessary because the earlier legislation only confirmed transactions without clearly defining legal responsibilities.

Under the existing act, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) responsible for e-commerce does not possess the necessary powers or comprehensive legislative framework to control various aspects of e-commerce. The Ministry has convened a Memorandum of Basic Ministerial Meeting two months ago, and the new law-making process is now being coordinated by the National Secretariat of Ministers, the Ministry of Communications, the Securities and Mutual Insurance Fund, and the Ministry of Digital to prepare for the upcoming parliamentary session.

The new legislation is targeted to be introduced during the upcoming parliamentary session, according to Ali, who made the announcement after inaugurating the Ramadan Kindness, Rahmah Madani Sales, and Safe Internet Campaigns.
