E-DAGANG: KONTRAK DAN TRANSAKSI

Abstract

With the recent emergence of globalisation, many people including Malaysians are widely using the online platform to conduct online transactions known as e-commerce. E-commerce did not require the sale and purchase transaction to be done face-to-face, in fact, by having an Internet connection, the contractual parties are then able to transact. The increase in the online sale and purchase transactions are in line with the increase in the numbers of internet users day-by-day. The objective of this research is to refine further and discuss the concept of e-commerce from the perspective of online contract and online sale and purchase transaction. This research is done using a qualitative measure through literature review and descriptive method whereby the highlights of previous studies involving e-commerce and e-contract are thoroughly discussed. The research outcome portrays a vast evolution of e-commerce from when it was first introduced causing e-contract to be widely used. Thus, it can be said that a contract made online or e-contract is valid under the law of Malaysia so long as it doesn’t contravene with the existing laws.
