Core laws for setting up and running a business

These govern every Malaysian entity regardless of what it does, so they are not tied to a single MSIC activity. Start here for the legal framework behind incorporation, tax and employment. The years are enactment years, not the age of the text: Malaysian Acts keep their original title while the law itself is amended, and every text here is the current consolidated edition in force.
