Special Interest Toys / Sex Toys

From the Forum of Lelong.com.my, I understand that Lelong does allow the sale of sex toys, or to put it in refine language, special interest toys.

Lelong Admin wrote the following:

And if you are selling "Special Interest" Toys, please do not post the product pictures or photos. We have already advised all related sellers that only description are allowed. Thanks for your cooperation.

I understand that it is illegal to sell sex toys in Malaysia. I have been told that there ARE sex toy shops in shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur but I understand that these businesses have applied for a special license for it. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure this is the case.

So the fact that Lelong's Admin wrote the above means that they do allow trading of sex toys in their marketplace, except that if you want to sell these, you are not supposed to show any photos of the item that you are selling. Never mind that a picture speaks a thousand words. Sell these, but use text only, ok?

I wonder what the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry has to say about this.
