Editorial policy

Our aim is simple: 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 write from primary sources first: 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 reputable 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 point us to a question worth answering, but the answer comes from the law and named sources.

How we handle facts

Any figure, timeframe, statute section or attributed claim on a page is tied to a named source you can open, with the date we checked it. If we cannot verify a specific detail, we leave it out or say plainly that 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 so and explain what it depends on.

Review and updates

Content is written in plain language and checked for accuracy before it is published. Where a page covers a court decision or a statute, we note when it was last reviewed.

The law changes. When it does, we update the affected pages and note the change. If you spot something that reads wrong or out of date, tell us and we will look at it.

Corrections

We would rather fix a page than defend it. If you believe something here is inaccurate, message us with the page and the point, and we will review it and correct it if needed.
