Section 42
Power to exempt
of Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act 1993
The Minister may by order exempt, subject to such conditions as he may deem fit to impose, any person or class of persons, or any direct sales business or class of direct sales businesses from all or any of the provisions of this Act or the regulations on the ground—
(a)
that the proceeds from the direct sales business are to be used exclusively for charitable, welfare, social, religious or educational purposes;
(b)
that the person who seeks to sell the goods or supply the services is a person with disability;
(c)
that the person who seeks to sell the goods or supply the services is, in the ordinary course of his business, required to supply his goods or services by means of direct sale transactions for the convenience of the purchasers; or
(d)
that the giving of an exemption to such person or direct sales business will not, in the opinion of the Minister, prejudice the interests of the purchasers.
(2)
The Minister may at any time by order published in the
Gazette revoke any order made under subsection (1) if he is satisfied that such exemption should no longer be granted.
