Malaysian Ad Claim Checker

No. The checker reads language, so it can only tell you that it found none of the patterns it looks for. It cannot see whether a claim is true, whether you hold the certificate behind it, whether the product is registered, or what the artwork shows. A clean result narrows what you have to think about; it does not end the thinking.

Almost any claim that a product treats, prevents or improves a health condition needs approval from the Medicine Advertisements Board before the ad runs, under section 4B of the Medicines (Advertisement and Sale) Act 1956, and the approval number goes on the creative. A separate and stricter rule sits above it: advertising a remedy for a disease in the schedule to that Act is prohibited outright under section 3, not merely subject to approval, and naming the condition is what brings the ad inside it.

Only if you can prove it. A superlative is a claim of fact under paragraph 4.8 of the Content Code 2022, and you can be asked to produce documentary evidence for it within five working days. The practical test is whether the comparison behind the word is defined, measurable and on file before the ad goes live rather than after a complaint.

Paragraph 4.10 of the Content Code covers it. An "up to" or "from" figure has to be genuinely available on a real quantity of the product, a struck-through price has to be one you actually charged, and non-optional taxes and charges belong in the price you state rather than appearing at checkout. The statutory backing for the discount half is the Trade Descriptions cheap-sale-price regime rather than a ministry price-display instrument.

The claim points at a certificate held for a specific product by a recognised certifying body, so making it without one is the exposure and no wording fixes that. The checker flags halal and syariah language so you check the certificate rather than the sentence, which is the only thing that actually decides it.

A promotional competition needs a genuine element of skill. A pure chance draw falls within the Malaysian definition of a lottery whether or not entry is free, because that definition carries no consideration element, so the "no purchase necessary" rule imported from other markets does not transfer here. A commercial brand also cannot obtain the permit that would otherwise cover it.

No. It is a reading aid built from published rules, and it points you at the instrument to read and the guide that explains it. Anything with real exposure attached belongs with a Malaysian advertising or regulatory adviser, and the approval itself always stays with the relevant Board.
