PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia Futsal Cup third-place playoff ended in ugly scenes after an altercation broke out between two Sabah officials.

KUCHING: A new bill to regulate e-commerce will include clearer definitions of all parties involved, including online marketing affiliates, to ensure fairer and more comprehensive rules.

"Previously, affiliates were categorised as sellers, but discussions showed they are different because they don't own the products. Consumers shouldn't blame affiliates, as they only market on behalf of sellers. She said separating affiliates as a distinct category would close gaps in existing laws and better protect the rights of all players in the e-commerce ecosystem.

Earlier, media reports quoted Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali as saying the e-commerce bill was expected to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat next March.
