400 unregistered online businesses taken to task
GEORGE TOWN: Four hundred online businessmen have been charged in court for not registering their business with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) in the past two years.
Deputy Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim said they were charged under Section 12 (1) (a) of the Registration of Businesses Act 1956 (Amendment 2001) which carries a fine of up to RM50,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years.
He said individuals or companies conducting online business were not exempted from registering themselves to prevent fraud.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is monitoring online business to detect individuals and companies which conduct business illegally, he told reporters after opening a dialog on business ethical practices here Tuesday.
“Businessmen should be aware of their responsibility and code of ethics and should not victimise consumers,” he said

Action taken against 400 unregistered e-biz operators
GEORGE TOWN: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has taken legal action against 400 local online e-bu-siness operators in the last two years for not registering as business entities.
Malaysia Business Ethics Institute (MBEI) chairman Dr Zainal Abidin Abdul Majid, said most of the operators were charged under Section 12(1)(a) of the Business Registration Act where they face up to 12 years in jail or a fine of up to RM50,000.
He said this yesterday after atten-ding a business ethics dialogue which was launched by Deputy Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Rohani Abd Karim here.
Dr Zainal said the MBEI advised online site operators to upload their code of ethics onto their respective websites.
“Nowadays, in the globalised age, e-business is growing rapidly but at the same time, site operators must also promote strong business ethics to attract customers,” he added.
Earlier, Rohani urged more people to use the consumer tribunals to settle disputes about contracts with telecommunication, Internet and television service providers.
It is learnt that many consumers are unhappy after signing long-term agreements with the service providers as a result of the poor connections.

Janice .. on your question.
You are required by malaysian law to register your business and before ‘starting’ to apply and also register the license to conduct your said business. Yes, you are required to apply for two procedure before you are actually allowed to conduct your business.
1.The Business registration certificate
2.License for conducting said business(where? at the local governing bodies..Majlis Perbandaran petaling jaya)
That said… you can register it without having already a business transaction in hand.
justhelping is not helping much ….

For online business, just open Small Enterprise(Sole Proprietorship) is more than enough
