Frequently Asked Questions
What does a White-Collar Crime lawyer do in Malaysia?
We represent individuals from private and public sector, companies and their representatives facing investigations or prosecutions relating to commercial crimes, involving offences of bribery, corruption, corporate liability, criminal breach of trust, cybercrimes, fraud, forgery, money-laundering, and other financially motivated allegations.
When should I consult with a White-Collar Crime lawyer in Malaysia?
Early intervention matters as legal advice should ideally begins before any criminal charges are brought, particularly when a client is contacted by the police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara or other enforcement agencies.
What is AMLA and what should I do if I am being investigated under AMLA?
Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism, Anti-Restricted Activity Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, colloquially known as AMLA, governs offences involving money laundering, financing of terrorism and restricted activities and matters relating to proceeds of unlawful activities.
If you are asked by an enforcement agency to attend an interview for your statement to be recorded, you should consider obtaining a legal advice before attending.
Apart from the risk of being charged in court, can AMLA affect my property?
Yes. AMLA provides mechanisms for the freezing and seizure of property, as well as forfeiture of property.
What is cybercrime in Malaysia and what should I do if I am being investigated for a cybercrime in Malaysia?
Cybercrime in Malaysia involves illegal activity relating to the use of computers, mobile devices, networked devices and the internet, with the deliberate intention to gain and commit unauthorised access to computer systems, online fraud or scams, identity theft through online impersonation or AI-generated abuse, and cyber stalking and doxxing.
Cybercrime is also an increasingly important area of criminal law in Malaysia as the country continues to move towards greater digitalisation. This is reflected in the introduction of the Cybercrimes Bill 2026, which is intended to replace the Computer Crimes Act 1997 and modernise Malaysia’s legal framework to address the growing complexity of criminal activities in today’s digital space.
As cybercrime investigation may involve the police or other enforcement agencies, if you believe that you are being investigated or a victim of cybercrime, you should consider obtaining legal advice as early as possible.
What is forgery under the Malaysian Law?
Forgery covers falsifying documents or signatures which can be extended to a broader set of offences such as cheating, breach of trust, and corporate fraud.
What is a remand hearing and when should I consult a lawyer?
A remand hearing is a proceeding before a Magistrate whereby a police officer or an investigating officer from any enforcement agencies will apply for a remand order to continue detaining a suspect for a fixed period of time, following an arrest.
If you or someone you know has been arrested, you should identify the location of detention and contact a criminal defence lawyer as soon as possible to allow the lawyer can take the necessary steps to attend the remand proceedings and, where appropriate, apply for a shorter period of remand or in suitable circumstances, seek to have the remand application refused.
