Malaysia drafts bill targeting illegal gambling, including online operations
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said Malaysia is drafting legislation to address illegal gambling, including online operations. He said the bill could be presented at the next parliamentary sitting, depending on its readiness; officials have yet to decide whether it will be a standalone act or amend existing laws.
Operators may face stronger enforcement provisions if Malaysia enacts the proposed measures against online gambling.
