MALAYSIA is among three Asean countries besides Singapore and recently the Philippines to have enacted an export control law which allows for extra-territorial criminal jurisdiction.
The Strategic Trade Act (STA) 2010 regulates the activities of exports, transits, transshipments and brokering of strategic items – including arms and related material that can be used for the design, development and production of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems. Strategic items include goods and technology that are high-tech and specialised equipment.
