About mylaw.my

01 · What this is

A reading interface over Malaysia's own legal sources. The whole corpus is open to anyone — no account, no paywall, no trial. An account exists only so you can save laws and hold a personal token for the MCP endpoint; nothing behind it is legal text you could not already read signed out.

It exists because looking up a single section should not mean downloading a 400-page document and scrolling. A provision is a thing with an identity, and it should have an address.

02 · What we add

The words of a law are the official publisher's and are reproduced faithfully. Everything around them is ours, and it is the reason this site exists rather than a link to a PDF:

• Structure. Each work is parsed into its real hierarchy — parts, sections, sub-sections, paragraphs — so every unit carries a stable anchor and can be opened at its own URL.
• Cross-references. References a work makes to other instruments are resolved against the corpus and rendered as links, so you can follow the chain instead of searching for it.
• A citation graph. Where judgments are held, the decisions that cite a work are detected from the judgment text and listed on the work's own page — a view no single official document contains, because it is assembled across documents.
• Status and history. In-force status, amendments and repeals are carried from recorded relationships between instruments rather than guessed, and the repealing instrument is named where the corpus knows it.
• Provenance. Every page links the source it was structured from and states when its content was last updated.
• Machine access. The same corpus is readable by an AI assistant over MCP, so an answer about Malaysia law can quote the text instead of recalling it.

How each of those is built, checked and kept current is set out in methodology.

03 · What this is not

Not the official publisher. mylaw.my is not a government body, a court, or an official gazette, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them. Where the text here and the official source differ, the official source is right. Verify against it before you rely on anything.

Not legal advice. Reading a provision is not the same as knowing how it applies to you. Nothing here — including anything the assistant says — is advice, and no lawyer-client relationship is created by using this site. For a matter that affects you, ask a qualified practitioner.

Not guaranteed current. Law changes, and a consolidation can lag the amendment that changed it. Pages state when they were last updated so you can judge that for yourself rather than assume.

04 · Who runs it

mylaw.my is an independent project, built and maintained privately. It is not run by, funded by, or answerable to any government body, court, official publisher, law firm or publisher of legal commentary in Malaysia, and no such body has any say in what appears here.

That independence is the point: the corpus is structured from public sources and the structuring decisions are published in methodology so you can check them rather than trust us.

05 · How it is paid for

Reading is free and stays free. The site carries advertising alongside the content to cover its running costs. Advertisers have no involvement in the corpus — they do not choose what is published, and no law is included, excluded, ordered or worded because of them.

What advertising means for your data, and how to opt out of personalised ads, is in the privacy policy.

06 · Corrections

A corpus this size is never finished, and the errors that matter are the ones a reader finds. Missing instrument, text that does not match the gazette, a dead source link, a wrong status — tell us and it gets fixed.
