KUANTAN: The E-Commerce Bill, aimed at strengthening accountability among online platforms and sellers, will be tabled at the first parliamentary sitting next year.
Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the draft was being refined.
"Currently, we do not have specific legislation governing e-commerce. In most cases, we facilitate negotiations by acting as intermediaries between online entrepreneurs or sellers and marketplaces," she said after the closing ceremony of the Retail Access Programme here yesterday.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when tabling the 2027 Budget on Oct 9, had announced the government would introduce the bill to regulate e-commerce platforms operating in Malaysia.
