It's regulated: Ministry dismisses call to ban gold-plated products amid TikTok boom
KUALA LUMPUR: There is no need to ban the sale of gold-plated products as the sale of such items is regulated to protect consumers. Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry enforcement director-general Datuk Azman Adam said gold-plated products have been in the market for years, and their increasing popularity did not warrant a ban. Previously, the Malaysia Gold Association (MGA) called for the sale of "gold-wrapped" products to be banned amid their growing popularity on social media platforms like TikTok. Its president, Datuk Louis Ng, said that these items posed a risk to consumers, pawnbrokers, and the gold recycling industry as they could be mistaken for authentic gold. He said a thick layer of gold wrapping could make such items indistinguishable from genuine gold, especially to the untrained eye. Azman said the Trade Descriptions (Articles Made of Precious Metals) Regulations under the Trade Descriptions Act governed the sale of precious metals like gold, silver and platinum. "The aim (of the regulations) is to protect consumers from fraud and ensure transparency in the precious metals market," he told the New Straits Times. Azman said the regulations specified that jewellery coated with gold, silver or platinum must be described with the word "plated" when sold to customers. A company or individual in violation of the law faces a fine of up to RM25,000 or RM10,000, respectively. An individual can also be jailed for up to one year, or both, upon conviction. Action can be taken against traders who fail to comply with this requirement. However, to date, Azman said the ministry had not received any official complaints regarding the sale of gold-plated silver products or gold-like items. Precious metal sales highly regulated Azman said online traders were also subjected to the law, including the requirement to disclose product information under Schedule 3 of the Consumer Protection (Electronic Trade Transactions) Regulations. He added that the sale of precious metals was highly regulated against fraud. "Any person who uses false trade descriptions regarding the purity standards of precious metals may also be prosecuted under Regulation 8, Trade Descriptions (Articles Made of Precious Metals) Regulations. "They can also be charged under Section 5 read with Section 6(f) of the Trade Descriptions Act," he said. Under the Act, if the offender is a corporate body, it may be fined up to RM250,000 upon conviction. And for a second or subsequent offence, the fine may be increased to a maximum of RM500,000. If the offender is not a corporate body, he may be fined up to RM100,000 or face imprisonment for up to three years, or both. He added that businesses selling or supplying precious metals must provide a receipt detailing the item's specifications, as mandated under Regulation 9 at the time of supply. Azman also warned that traders using uncertified gold weighing scales or engaging in fraudulent weight measurements could be prosecuted under the Weights and Measures Act. Under Section 14(6) of the Act, any person who uses or possesses for trade purposes any weight, measure, or weighing or measuring instrument that has not been verified, stamped, certified or approved as required under this section commits an offence. Upon conviction, they may be fined up to RM40,000 or imprisoned for a term not exceeding three years, or both. The weight, measure or weighing or measuring instrument may be forfeited. The compoundable amount for this offence shall not exceed the maximum fine, which is RM40,000. "Among others, complaints related to misleading sales practices may also be investigated under Sections 9 and 10 of the Consumer Protection Act," he said. Under the Act, if the offender is a corporate body, it may be fined up to RM250,000, and for a second or subsequent offence, the fine may be increased to a maximum of RM500,000. If the offender is not a corporate body, he may be fined up to RM100,000 or face imprisonment for up to three years, or both. Meanwhile, Azman said consumers who felt cheated in a sales transaction could file a claim with the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia. He encouraged consumers to report any concerns by submitting complaints with full and accurate details through WhatsApp: 019-848 8000, 1-800-886-800 and Ez ADU KPDN Mobile App.

NST Leader: E-waste land
MALAYSIA doesn't want to be an e-waste garbage bin for the world, but it just can't help being one. Year after year, an estimated one thousand containers make it past our seaports. Some through our porous land and maritime borders. The Customs Department tells us that importers — or are they smugglers? — are bringing in the containers by falsely declaring them to contain anything but e-waste. Some containers don't make it through the inspection of the department, but many do. How many is anyone's guess. The hundreds of illegal e-waste factories throughout the country give a picture of the number of containers that made it undetected. Some are hidden in plantations; others operate openly, in plain sight, visible to the eyes of the authorities. The most recent raids from June 16 to June 19 by 12 agencies on 57 premises in a nationwide crackdown show how bad a crisis the illegal e-waste smuggling is. The police, which led the raids in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Inland Revenue Board, estimated the seizures and revenue loss to the government to be RM1.003 billion. The 57 raided premises were almost a national affair, with 16 in Selangor, 12 in Sabah, six each in Kedah and Sarawak, five each in Perak and Johor, four in Penang, two in Kelantan and one in Terengganu. The raids also yielded 453 arrests, with only 41 Malaysians being nabbed. The rest were from the usual suspects: China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan and Nepal. From Jan 1 last year to June 19, the police arrested 1,061 people. This should frighten the nation into action before the crisis becomes a catastrophe. But the authorities appear to be facing, not insurmountable, but surmountable hurdles. One such revealed itself when the crackdown was launched. Although police intelligence revealed that more than 57 premises were operating illegally, many were found closed on the day of the raids. This, according to Federal Internal Security and Public Order Department director Datuk Seri Azmi Abu Kassim, raises concerns as to whether some operators may have been tipped off, the New Straits Times quoted him as saying. Enemies within aren't new threats for enforcement units. But which of the 12 agencies leaked it would be something for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to uncover. Punishment not matching the crime is another hurdle. Consider the Customs Act 1967. Anyone making false declarations can be fined up to RM500,000 or imprisoned for up to seven years, or both. A fine of RM500,000 is just a trifling sum for smugglers. Be that as it may, how many "importers" have been slapped with a RM500,000 fine or a seven-year imprisonment? As unheard of as hen's teeth. The Customs Department must do better by convincing the court to impose the maximum of punishment because illegal e-waste smuggling is a national crisis. While the government must provide the enforcers and regulators with the necessary resources to do a good job, they, too, have to go on an internal journey to weed out corrupt officers. Robust enforcement is not possible any other way. Absent this, containers of illegal e-waste will keep arriving on our shores, turning the crisis into a meltdown.

MACC to question 20 witnesses in highway probe
KUALA LUMPUR: About 20 witnesses will be called by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week as part of its ongoing probe into the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds meant for the construction of a highway in the Klang Valley. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said this includes recalling witnesses who had previously given statements in order to gather further information on the fund, which is worth millions of ringgit. He said the commission aimed to complete the investigation paper within two months. "As of now, the investigation team is scrutinising various documents, including bank records that we must analyse, and recording statements from bank personnel to verify the contents of the bank statements," he told Buletin TV3 today. However, he said that there is currently no need to conduct a new search or recall the corporate figure with a "Tan Sri" title who has been linked to the case. MACC investigators had recorded the corporate figure's statement three times, working alongside a tactical team due to suspicions of weapon and asset possession related to the misappropriated funds. MACC has so far seized RM141 million worth of assets in Malaysia linked to the case and is currently tracking RM15 million in foreign assets.
