KPDN teliti Akta Kawalan Harga bendung ‘ulat tiket’

The Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) is investigating Section 15(1) of the Price and Anti-gambling Act 2011 to explore regulatory options for developing a specialized framework to curb the ticket scalping phenomenon. Deputy Minister Fuziah Salleh announced that the study will also include a review of laws in several other countries such as Australia, Ireland, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore to identify suitable approaches for Malaysia.

Currently, Malaysia lacks comprehensive legislation specifically addressing ticket scalping activities. The study aims to be finalized before relevant regulations are brought to the execution stage next year. The primary focus is on clarifying the definition of scalping, controlling ticket purchases through a unique platform, and investigating the feasibility of identity verification and ticket holder tracking mechanisms.
