The law of Malaysia is mainly based on the common law legal system, a direct result of the British colonisation of Malaya, Sarawak, and North Borneo by Britain.

The Federal Constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia. It establishes a constitutional monarchy with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the Head of State. It provides for the establishment of three main branches of the government: the bicameral legislative branch called the Parliament, which consists of the House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat) and the Senate (Dewan Negara); the executive branch led by the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers; and the judiciary headed by the Federal Court.

MLTIC allows individuals and organizations to take advantage of its standing as the most-visited website on Malaysian law and tax by sponsoring its micro-sites and advertising on our website. Several options are available; all of them guarantee maximum exposure and best value for your investment.

MLTIC is planning to develop a wide range of online products and services for Malaysian legal and tax industries. MLTIC believes that forging long-term partnerships with the right people is the way forward, and is looking for enterprising individuals or organizations with existing business or feasible business ideas to partner with.

MLTIC or Malaysian Legal and Tax Information Centre is a cluster of web portals on Malaysian law and tax. It consists of a main portal (Malaysia Law) and 9 micro-sites, and provides daily updates of Malaysian legal and tax developments.

MLTIC is a Free Access to Law initiative.

MLTIC makes available the full original text of selected
Malaysian legal and tax developments - news, legislation, judgments and rulings, regulatory guidelines and circulars, events, books and articles, products and services - free of charge. MLTIC and its micro-sites provide several daily and weekly e-mail alerts on Malaysian law and tax.
