LETTER | Government's actions must benefit both sides.

Last year, Bank Negara Malaysia reported a drop of nearly 50 percent in reported online scams but the same is never conducted on the losses of the genuine related business.

Basically, most measures taken by the authorities are to protect the consumers. This is apparent with such laws as Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act 1993, Consumer Protection Regulations 2012, and Electronic Commerce Act 2006. As a lawyer, I have represented many businesses but often found that some business owners make mistakes that would leave them legally vulnerable.

Online businesses want more shoppers to visit and buy products from their websites. They want consumers to recommend their websites to their family members, friends, and strangers.

Open letter to Pakatan Harapan on its first anniversary in government — Ding Jo-Ann | Malay MailMay 8 — Dear Pakatan Harapan A year ago, Malaysia ushered in the new government with much hope and expectation. The new government was elected by the people, on the back of promises of human rights and institutional reform. After the decades of abuse of power by the Barisan Nasional government... All the issues points to erosion of Malays' rights & sovereignty of the monarch, apparently. PH did not do enuf PR to engage the ppl. They expect ppl to self read & understd wats' said/printed in the media. They failed to level down to talk. Tis perhaps their Achilles' heel.
