QUOTE(Mr Mercedes @ Apr 1 2025, 03:58 PM) Tabuli ini machiemQUOTE We also have a Malaysian Code of Advertising Practice which seeks to ensure that printed advertisements are lawful and honest. This effort was actually launched by our first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj. The Code covers all sorts of products, from alcoholic drinks, to slimming products and services, to vehicles. Unfortunately, the code is designed for self-regulation, and it’s not an actual law, per se. There’s no actual enforcement agency that goes around to enforce this code, so it relies on the goodwill of the advertisers to follow the code and be decent persons and companies. With regard to advertisements that appear online, we have the The Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Content Code put forth by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). Part 3 of the code sets out the regulations on online ads and boy are they thorough. A particular section is specific to the matter at hand: (iii)Honesty and Truthfulness a) Advertisements must not be so framed as to abuse the trust of the consumer or exploit his lack of experience or knowledge. b) No advertisement should mislead by inaccuracy, ambiguity, exaggeration, omission or otherwise. Subsection (b) says that no advertisements should be misleading, either by being inaccurate, vague, exaggerated, et cetera. If anyone finds an ad like this, they can report it to the MCMC, and the advertiser may be penalized, according to the Code: The Bureau may upon finding that there has been a breach of the Code: (a) Issue a written reprimand; (b) Impose a fine not exceeding fifty thousand (RM50, 000.00); and/or © Require removal of the Content or cessation of the offending act. An offending advertiser might reprimanded in writing (very effective), be fined up to RM 50,000 and/or be required to remove the offending advertisement from wherever they put it up. The stakes are high, so this Code could prove to be excellent. https://asklegal.my/p/misleading-advertisem...ntract-malaysia This post has been edited by RT8081: Apr 1 2025, 04:01 PM |
