What is Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP)

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) is the Institute of Language and Literature in Malaysia. It serves as the authoritative body for the Malay language and is responsible for the development and promotion of the Malay language, literature, and culture in the country.

Why I Need To Make The Approval in Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) for the Signboard, Banners, Buntings, and Logo?

Regarding the approval of signboards, banners, buntings, and logos in Malaysia, certain local regulations and guidelines need to be adhered to. These approvals often fall under the purview of local government authorities, municipal councils, or relevant departments. These regulations are in place to ensure that visual displays and branding adhere to aesthetic, safety, and cultural considerations while maintaining the local landscape's integrity.


If you fail to do this ?!

  1. Legal Action: Local authorities have the right to take legal action against individuals or businesses that display signage without proper approvals. This could result in fines, penalties, or other legal consequences.
  2. Removal or Confiscation: Authorities may order the removal or confiscation of unapproved signage, banners, buntings, or logos. This can result in financial losses and a negative impact on your branding and marketing efforts.
  3. Damage to Reputation: Operating without proper approvals could damage your reputation as a responsible and compliant business or individual. It might portray you as someone who disregards local regulations and norms.
  4. Aesthetic Disruption: Displaying signage or visual materials without proper approvals could disrupt the visual aesthetics of the local area, leading to complaints from residents, businesses, or authorities concerned with maintaining the area's appearance.
  5. Inconvenience: The process of dealing with legal issues, fines, removal orders, or conflicts with local authorities can be time-consuming and inconvenient. It can divert your focus from core business activities.
  6. Loss of Trust: Failing to comply with local regulations and obtain necessary approvals can lead to a loss of trust among customers, clients, and the community, which can have long-term negative impacts on your business or personal image.

To avoid these potential consequences, it's important to prioritize obtaining the required approvals before displaying any signage, banners, buntings, or logos in Malaysia. Engaging with local authorities, understanding the regulations, and ensuring compliance will help you avoid legal issues and maintain a positive reputation.

Fulfilling proper approvals for signage and visual displays in Malaysia safeguards legal compliance and preserves a positive public image.
