AI Summary
Malaysia is revising its e-commerce law to include a distinct definition of "affiliate," separating them from sellers. Deputy Minister Fuziah Salleh stated this change addresses challenges faced by affiliates who don't own products and shouldn't be held responsible for product defects. The revised law aims to protect all stakeholders, including sellers, consumers, affiliates, and platform owners. The review will conclude in October 2025, with a draft bill expected in Parliament by March 2025.

E-commerce complaints nationwide have decreased from 14,411 in 2023 to 4,809 between January and July 2025.
