Methods: The study was quantitatively conducted involving consumers who were structured and randomly selected from five different zones in Malaysia. All the study data were collected using a specific pre-tested questionnaire and analyzed using the statistical computer program SPSS 25.0 (Windows).
Results: The results of the study show that the level of knowledge and readiness of consumers in Malaysia toward the
