"We agreed verbally. Does it count?"

In Malaysia, the answer is often yes. The Contracts Act 1950 doesn't require most contracts to be in writing to be valid.

But valid and provable are two very different things — especially in court.

Malaysia's social media landscape just changed — permanently.

The Online Safety Act 2025 is now fully in force, and for the first time, platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and WhatsApp face fines of up to RM10 million if they fail to remove harmful content within 24 hours.

Parents, this is especially for you: children under 16 can no longer register their own social media accounts as of 1 June 2026. Swipe through to understand what this law now requires — and what you can do if a platform fails to act.

Major legislative updates are officially live in Malaysia's alternative dispute resolution (ADR) ecosystem. With the Arbitration (Amendment) Act 2024 (Act A1737) coming into force, commercial dispute resolution in Malaysia has taken a giant leap toward international best practices.

The statutory recognition of regulated Third-Party Funding (TPF) opens new pathways for businesses to manage risk and pursue meritorious claims without capital strain. Concurrently, the establishment of the AIAC Court of Arbitration and the introduction of automatic award recognition ensure that international and local commercial arbitrations seated in Kuala Lumpur operate with unprecedented finality, transparency, and speed.

For corporate counsel and business owners, this is a clear signal: standard contract templates and pre-2026 dispute resolution clauses must be reviewed immediately to leverage the advantages of this modernized framework.

How will the legalization of third-party funding shift your firm's strategy toward complex commercial litigation? Let's discuss in the comments below. 👇

⚖️ Amendments to the Penal Code effective 11 July 2025 introduced new provisions addressing bullying, harassment, threats and related conduct in Malaysia.

New Sections 507B to 507G broaden the legal framework to cover conduct that may cause harassment, distress, fear or alarm, including through electronic communications.

While there is no specific offence titled “workplace bullying”, workplace-related conduct may fall within these provisions depending on the facts and whether the statutory elements are met.

In this context, “alarm” refers to a person feeling seriously concerned, unsafe, intimidated or under psychological pressure due to another person’s conduct.

For employers, the changes reinforce the importance of having robust workplace policies, clear reporting channels and effective investigation procedures for complaints involving harassment or bullying.

For employees, the amendments may provide an additional legal avenue in serious cases involving workplace harassment.

As judicial interpretation develops, further guidance will emerge on how these provisions apply in real workplace scenarios.

A modern legal system demands modern legal education. As the government explores replacing the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) with a two-stage New Bar Course (NBC), the legal landscape in Malaysia is poised for a significant transformation. This shift from rote memorization to hands-on legal training—focusing on critical drafting, advising, and advocacy skills—will redefine how future lawyers qualify and practice.

For established law firms and legal practitioners, this reform represents a vital step toward building a highly skilled, practice-ready pipeline of pupils and associates.

What are your thoughts on this proposed policy shift by the LPQB? Will a skills-based assessment better prepare the next generation of Malaysian lawyers? Share your insights and join the discussion below. 👇

⚖️ The Legal Profession (Publicity) Rules 2025 came into force on 1 January 2026 and represent a significant development in legal marketing in Malaysia.

The new rules provide advocates and solicitors with greater freedom to promote their services through websites, social media platforms and other digital channels. However, all publicity must remain accurate, professional and consistent with the dignity of the legal profession.

Lawyers must avoid misleading statements, unsubstantiated claims, guarantees of success and any content that creates unjustified expectations about legal outcomes.

While lawyers may state that they specialise in a particular area of law, any such claim must be justifiable and they generally should not describe themselves as "experts".

Law firms should review their websites, social media content, brochures and other marketing materials to ensure compliance with the new rules before publication.
