Kuala Lumpur: The government will examine the move by the Indonesian government to ban e-commerce transactions on the social media platform TikTok before devising appropriate measures in this country, says communications and digital minister Fahmi Fadzil.

He said he had received complaints from members of the public who expressed concern about the action. At the same time, several large stores had also raised issues related to price competition for products sold through the platform, he added.

“Many Malaysians use the TikTok Shop platform to sell goods. I will ask the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the ministry to look into the basis of the action taken by the Indonesian government.

“I think TikTok needs to come forward and give an explanation because one of the reasons why TikTok Shop is banned in Indonesia is because of the issue of ‘predatory pricing’, which is threatening local entrepreneurs in Indonesia,” he said.

He spoke to reporters at a gotong-royong at the Kampung Limau People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Pantai Dalam here today.
