Phang Legal provides Malaysian clients with legal services in Australia.
We already service many clients in Malaysia and Malaysian clients in Australia. Some look to take advantage of business or investment opportunities between Australia and Malaysia, some are interested in a change of work and leisure lifestyle, while others are in search of better education and other opportunities for their children and family. Whatever your reason, you may probably be just one of the growing number of Malaysians considering what Australia has to offer - and to us, you are our valued client.
Legal action in Australia against parties in Malaysia
There is no convention, treaty or other agreement between Australia and Malaysia for serving process in Australian civil legal action against parties in Malaysia. The Malaysian Government will not accept requests through the diplomatic channel for assistance through the Malaysian authorities. Service is best achieved by appointing a private agent in Malaysia to serve Australian court documents on parties in Malaysia. There is also no convention, treaty or other agreement between Australia and Malaysia for enforcing civil judgments.
At Phang Legal, we can assist Australian litigants with an interest in parties in Malaysia through our network of lawyers in Malaysia.
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H)
Malaysia My Second Home Programme is promoted by the Malaysian Government to allow foreigners to stay in Malaysia on a multiple-entry social visit pass. It also allows foreigners to buy and invest in Malaysia offering a range of incentives relating to property, motor vehicles, business and business investment, taxation, domestic help and education. Changes to MM2H mean it is now easier to apply direct or through a licensed agent.
