KUANTAN, Oct 18 — The E-Commerce Bill will be tabled in Parliament at the first meeting next year to strengthen the regulation of online transactions, said Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Fuziah Salleh.

She said the initial draft of the Bill has been completed and is currently being refined before it is tabled.

“At present, we do not have specific legislation to regulate e-commerce. So, in most cases, we negotiate and act as intermediaries between online entrepreneurs and platform providers,” she told a press conference after closing the Retail Access Programme 2026 at a hotel here today.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when tabling Budget 2027 on October 9, said the E-Commerce Bill would be tabled at the next Parliament meeting in an effort to strengthen the accountability of online platforms and sellers.
