About this site
Plain help for Malaysian workers facing dismissal, in three languages.
Unfair Dismissal Guide is an independent resource for people in Malaysia who have been dismissed, forced to resign, retrenched or put through a disciplinary process at work.
We built it because good information was hard to find when it matters most: the first days after a termination, when a real deadline is already running.
What we do
We explain your rights, the steps and your choices in English, Malay and Chinese. Every page is written for a non-lawyer to understand on the first read, on a phone.
If you are considering engaging an employment lawyer, you can request contact through WhatsApp. Where appropriate, we can help connect you with an independent lawyer; availability and acceptance remain for the independent lawyer to confirm.
How this site and the lawyer relate
This is an independent information resource, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or represent clients. Any advice, representation and fees must be agreed directly with an independent lawyer.
Our guides focus on the employee side of employment disputes in Malaysia.
How we keep it honest
We cite the law and reputable sources where it matters, and we say plainly when something depends on your facts. If we cannot verify a detail, we leave it out rather than guess.
You can read more about how we research and check our content, or about how we help once you get in touch.
Considering engaging an employment lawyer? Request contact about possible representation. Any legal work and fees are agreed directly with an independent lawyer.
For people seeking legal representation. For general information, please use our guides and tools.
First contact: general facts only, such as date, location, employment status and a short summary. Keep documents private until an identified independent lawyer contacts you and specifically requests them.
