E-Commerce Bill to protect small traders, says Anwar

The Malaysian government plans to introduce an E-Commerce Bill in the upcoming parliamentary session, according to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, as reported by Malay Mail on Oct 9. The legislation aims to enhance accountability among online platforms and sellers, safeguarding micro, small, and medium enterprises from unfair competition and ensuring consumer goods safety.

Prime Minister Anwar highlighted the government's concern over foreign e-commerce companies entering the domestic market without proper oversight and enforcement. The fifth Madani Budget, themed "Malaysia Madani: Menggapai di Langit, Mengakar di Bumi," is the second budget under the 13th Malaysia Plan.
