Abstract

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is a treaty in international sales and good law which is enforced on 1st of January in 1988 and has been approved by 89 states in 18 countries as signatories but Malaysia does not ratify this convention. This paper refers why Malaysia should ratify the CIGS and how can remove the legal barrier. If Malaysia does not be members of the CIGS, the customer protection problem and additional opportunities with contracting states will overwhelming be loosed. This study also argues that if Malaysia is a member of the CISG, the trader of Malaysian will remain on a level playing field with their counterparts in sales contacts universally.
