Abstract

The Metaverse is the post-reality world, where a persistent and perpetual environment converges digital virtuality with physical reality. The seamless user communication in dynamic and real-time interactions with digital artefacts has posed a new regulatory dilemma. With the recent introduction of Facebook’s metaverse, the question of the readiness and adequacy of the existing Malaysian laws to address legal challenges may be imposed by Facebook’s metaverse starting come into light. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to highlight possible challenges that the metaverse may bring. This research recommends several suggestions to remedy the hazards that might arise from the metaverse in future. Therefore, to achieve the research aim, this research assumes a doctrinal research approach in articulating its findings, primarily through textual analysis of several related legislations and available secondary sources such as academic manuscripts, textbooks, online resources, and other relevant sources.
