Malaysia being a Muslim country, it may be boycotting Israeli products
and services. Cooperation with the boycott may be illegal for US firms. See
http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/antiboycottcompliance.htm
excerpt:
/Antiboycott Compliance/
//
/The Bureau is charged with administering and enforcing the Antiboycott
Laws under the //Export Administration Act.
<http://www.bis.doc.gov/eaa.html>//Those laws discourage, and in some
circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from furthering or supporting the
boycott of Israel sponsored by the Arab League, and certain Moslem
countries, including complying with certain requests for information
designed to verify compliance with the boycott. Compliance with such
requests may be prohibited by the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) and may be reportable to the Bureau. /
Of course, no one can make Malaysia accept an Isaeli product or service
if they do not want to accept it.

To all,
I've been asked by a colleague to verify what he has recently learned,
which is in Malaysia, a ruling by SIRIM does not recognize regulatory
certification test reports from any Israeli certification lab.
Is this based in truth or is this something of a fabrication? If this
is true, does anyone have an official reference for that ruling? Also,
how widespread is this sort of thing in other countries?
I would like to know of any experiences or knowledge anyone has on
this. Please let me know.
I look forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Ron Pickard
