Women Entrepreneur Committee Sabah calls for safer online transactions
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 Text Size: Mae also praised the National Consumer Policy 2.0 as a tool to improve financial literacy, encourage informed spending, and reduce disputes through a clearer definition of consumer rights and responsibilities. Kota Kinabalu: As more Malaysians turn to online transactions, investments and financial planning, secure digital infrastructure and legal safeguards are critical to protecting consumers and upholding public trust in the nation's digital economy. Treasurer of the Women Entrepreneur Committee (WEC) under the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Sabah, Mae Chai, voiced strong support for the government's planned National Consumer Policy 2.0 (2026–2030) and efforts to update the Electronic Commerce Act both spearheaded by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. 'These aren't just policy improvements, they're foundational to building a safer, more resilient financial environment for all Malaysians,' Mae said. She described the reforms as both timely and necessary, especially as fintech adoption accelerates. 'The current ecommerce law is outdated. With rising cases of scams, fraud, and unauthorised financial activities, legal protections must evolve in tandem with technology. 'We need enforceable, transparent laws that safeguard consumers in every corner of the digital space,' she said. Mae welcomed the government's move to broaden accountability beyond conventional businesses to include digital service providers and fintech platforms, saying this reflects a modern, inclusive approach to regulation. She further emphasized that regulatory clarity benefits not only consumers but also financial advisers like herself. 'When the rules are clear, we can guide clients through complex decisions whether in investments, insurance, or long-term planning with greater confidence and compliance.' Mae also praised the National Consumer Policy 2.0 as a tool to improve financial literacy, encourage informed spending, and reduce disputes through a clearer definition of consumer rights and responsibilities. She believes this will boost public confidence and promote healthier financial behaviours, particularly in underserved regions like Sabah. 'In places where consumer awareness and digital access are still developing, these reforms could be transformative. 'It's about empowerment, protecting people and encouraging entrepreneurship at the same time. Under the leadership of MCCC Sabah President Datuk Dexter Lau, Mae said the WEC is fully committed to supporting national initiatives that foster inclusive development and strengthen the financial ecosystem. 'We're proud to stand behind these efforts. 'This is how we build an inclusive, secure, and future-ready Malaysia,' she said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

‘It was not an easy decision'
SHAH ALAM, 22 Julai -- Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menyampaikan ucapan pada Majlis Peluncuran Buku Melukis Dengan Hati: Biografi Perjalanan Seni 50 Tahun Karya Zunar di Pustaka Raja Tun Uda hari ini. -- fotoBERNAMA (2025) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA JITRA: Slashing the price of RON95 petrol, even if it is only by six sen was not an easy decision to make as the government needs to take into account the financial implications for the country, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said this was why he had to take a few more days to ensure a thorough evaluation before announcing the RON95 price reduction from RM2.05 to RM1.99 per litre. 'Yes, countries like Thailand and Singapore may have adjusted their prices earlier, but ours is still lower. '(You) want to disagree, it's okay, but please know this was not an easy decision. That's why it took days to finalise. 'Don't belittle this effort. Some say it's just a six-sen difference, but they didn't hear the full explanation,' he said at the National Anti-Drug Day celebration yesterday. Anwar also addressed criticisms of the government's decision not to extend fuel subsidies to foreign nationals, reiterating that such support is meant solely for Malaysians, as foreigners do not pay taxes to the government. 'I am puzzled with the Opposition's statement that we are burdening foreigners, claiming they too contribute to the country. 'I don't understand, in what part of the world are foreigners treated the same as citizens?' he said, Bernama reported. The Prime Minister also defended the one-off RM100 cash aid under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme for all Malaysians aged 18 and above. 'This RM100 aid stems from an increased government allocation, from RM13bil to RM15bil. 'A husband and wife will each receive RM100, and if they have children aged 18 and above, they will receive it too,' he said. Anwar also highlighted the government's decision to defer toll rate hikes, acknowledging that the move carries a financial cost of up to RM500mil to the federal budget. 'According to the agreement, toll rates should have gone up this year. I wasn't the one who signed that deal; the previous government did. 'If we don't raise the toll, the government must compensate the concessionaires. We chose not to raise it to avoid burdening the people. So even if there's no 'thank you', at least don't condemn us,' he said. On Wednesday, the Prime Minister announced a series of measures aimed at easing the cost of living. At the event, the Prime Minister expressed concern over the number of individuals involved in drug abuse, particularly among the Malay youth. 'The numbers are terrifying – loss of productivity, collapse of spirit. When it comes to drugs, we have to act. 'Hundreds of thousands of our young people are involved, especially among the poor and those with weak educational backgrounds. 'Their future is in ruins because of drugs,' he said.

From Pulau Banggi to Geneva
PULAU Banggi is the biggest island that is fully within our country's borders, occupying a land mass larger than the better known Langkawi and Penang islands. However, it is not as well known as either, as it is located off the northernmost points of mainland Sabah, about 70km from Kudat. Only accessible by ferry or speedboat, it is home to 20,000 residents whose main economy is fishing, oil palm and rubber. Its remote location is one reason I was elated when the National Information Dissemination Centre (Nadi) Malaysia Digital Inclusion Project was crowned the winner of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prize 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland, recently. The victory was achieved through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's (MCMC) Nadi Pulau Banggi Initiative. Indeed, the initiative was also named the champion in the 'C4: Capacity Building' category for its success in providing digital literacy, skills training, and economic opportunities to one of Malaysia's most remote island communities. The island's remote location has limited residents' access to education, healthcare and economic growth, but now the Nadi initiative has established community digital hubs that provide high-speed Internet and ICT training to fishermen, farmers, students and small business owners, equipping them with the skills to succeed in today's digital economy. It is a project that rapidly transforms the lives of residents, with youth acquiring ICT skills, women starting online micro-businesses, and local entrepreneurs expanding their markets. It once again reaffirms our firm belief that no one should be left behind in the digital era. Whether they be in a dense and congested urban centre, an impenetrable jungle or the most remote of islands, we will do our best to connect all Malaysians, as quickly and as efficiently as possible. As far as I am concerned the award also belongs to the communities who have embraced digital skills for a better future and to all Malaysians – driving our vision of an inclusive connected nation. As of May 31, we have achieved 82.4% 5G coverage in populated areas and 80.4% adoption rate nationwide. Sabah is now up to 69% coverage and we will strive to achieve more. We have download speeds of 149 megabits per second and a whopping 27.47 million 5G users. Nadi is now being expanded to other underserved areas, including Pulau Mandi Darah (in northern Sabah), with plans for nationwide expansion by 2035 through scalable training modules, community hubs, and long-term funding in Sabah and Sarawak. MCMC's participation in WSIS+20 also signifies support for the efforts of the International Telecommunication Union and demonstrates Malaysia's commitment to all telecommunications and digital initiatives carried out by the UN agency. Malaysia is among the top 10 countries in the world with the cheapest Internet, and we have the second fastest Internet speed in the Asia-Pacific region after South Korea. Frankly, we should be proud and yet use these achievements to spur us on. At the same time, we don't want just faster and cheaper Internet, but we want it to be safer also. That is why we are spearheading the development of the Guidelines for Safe and Responsible Use of Social Media Platforms for Asean. The truth is that if technology is open, without security oversight, it can become a haven for cyber criminals. Every sovereign nation has regulations ensuring safety and security, which big tech must respect. I also call upon those players who are dragging their feet to adhere to our social media licensing policies. Our aim is to establish common principles and best practices for governments, platforms, and users to address harmful content while safeguarding freedom of expression. In this way, we can ensure the Malaysian children of today can have a safe path to becoming digital leaders of tomorrow. Datuk Fahmi Fadzil is Communications Minister.
