Should we ban TikTok ecommerce too?


Point to consider: Many Malaysians are using the TikTok ecommerce platform to run small businesses. Banning it will affect them worse than big businesses. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star

SHOULD we follow Indonesia in banning the TikTok online shopping platform? The Indonesian government claimed that TikTok was involved in predatory pricing, which caused damage to local businesses.

The Malaysian government has been spending heavily in improving Internet connection in the country via the Jalinan Digital Negara (Jendela) initiative and 5G rollout.
