COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURE AND SANCTIONS AGAINST ONLINE GAMBLERS UNDER INDONESIAN LAW AND MALAYSIAN LAW

Abstract

This research examines the enforcement procedures and legal sanctions for online gambling in Indonesia and Malaysia through a normative juridical and comparative approach. In Indonesia, strict criminal and technological measures are applied, while Malaysia relies on older laws and administrative sanctions. The study finds that both countries face enforcement and jurisdictional challenges but differ in legal adaptation and preventive strategies. Recommendations call for legal reform, better inter-agency cooperation, and enhanced public awareness to address the evolving nature of online gambling crime.
