THE Malaysian Bar expresses our deepest sympathies to those who have been affected by the floods which occurred last week. We understand that these are very difficult and challenging times and that the public may have numerous legal questions about their rights arising from the effects of the flood. Recognising this need, the Malaysian Bar through its National Legal Aid Committee, and with the assistance of the courts, will provide disaster legal assistance to the public.

Members of the Bar at our Bar Council Legal Aid Centres and counters set up at selected courts will provide legal advice and assistance to those affected by the floods. The service will be free of charge and open to all Malaysians and non-Malaysians; a means test is not required. We will assist all people who are affected and in need.
