Editorial policy

You should be able to trust what you read here and check it yourself. This page explains how we work.

Where our information comes from

We start with primary sources: the Industrial Relations Act 1967, the Employment Act 1955, and the rules and guidance of the courts and agencies that apply them.

We also use legal commentary from established Malaysian firms and the Bar.

We do not treat forum posts, social media or other AI-written pages as sources. They can show us a question worth answering, but the answer comes from the law and named sources.

How we handle facts

Every figure, timeframe, statute section and quoted claim links to a named source you can open, with the date we checked it.

If we cannot verify a detail, we leave it out or say it depends on your facts.

We never invent a statistic, a case, an amount or a source, and we never promise an outcome.

Where the honest answer is “it depends”, we say what it depends on.

Review and updates

Pages are written in plain language and checked for accuracy before they go live. Where a page covers a court decision or a statute, we note when it was last reviewed.

When the law changes, we update the affected pages and note the change.

Corrections

If you think something here is wrong or out of date, message us with the page and the point. We will check it and correct it if needed.

You can also read how we build any compiled figures and the sources we rely on.
