Between January and October 2026, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) detected 13,045 prohibited contents on e-commerce platforms, including those related to fraud, gambling, and services, Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil announced. The government is launching Parcel Shield, an initiative to help consumers identify fraudulent tactics exploited by courier syndicates through e-commerce platforms.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will collaborate with courier companies to increase public awareness through radio, television announcements, and public service messages. Fahmi also informed that the Cabinet supported amending the Postal Services Act 2012 to strengthen anti-fraud measures and improve courier workers' welfare.
The proposed changes will be discussed with licensed delivery companies and could be introduced to Parliament by mid-year 2027. Regarding the Melaka state election, Fahmi stated that the PH leadership would decide on the poster boy for the Nov 14 polls, emphasizing the focus on a healthy contest. He also urged political parties to refrain from spreading false information or defamatory material, advising citizens to report such content to social media platforms and the MCMC.
