New laws to regulate advertising

SELANGOR Local Government, New Village Development, Legalising of Factories Committee chairman Ean Yong Hian Wah says new laws have been drafted to regulate the size, spacing, positioning and lighting of outdoor advertisements.

“Outdoor advertising state-wide needs to be regulated. Advertisements on shoplots must conform to a standard size while the placement of billboards and digital advertisements along main roads need to be governed. We drafted the by-laws and it is now with the Attorney-General’s Chambers awaiting approval,” he said.
