Malaysia’s E-commerce Platforms Require Bahasa Melayu Product Listings Under New Rules
Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop have notified sellers that they must comply with the Consumer Protection (Electronic Trade Transaction) Regulations 2024 (CPETTR 2024) by:
• Using Bahasa Melayu for all product titles and descriptions (brand names excluded)
• Displaying complete seller information, including name, contact details and business address
• Providing safety certifications for applicable products
To help sellers adapt, ecommerce platforms provide automatic translation feature that converts product descriptions to Bahasa Melayu.
Penalties for non-compliance:
• Individuals: Up to RM50,000 fine and three years’ jail for the first offence
• Companies: Up to RM100,000 fine for first offence
• Repeat offenders face doubled penalties
While some sellers have raised concerns about implementation challenges, others have lauded the move as dignifying the national language and promoting Malaysian identity in the digital marketplace.
