Biro Bantuan Guaman
As mentioned in our previous post, apart from the Bar Council Legal Aid Center, Biro Bantuan Guaman (Legal Aid Bureau) is another organisation which provide free legal aid to the general public in Malaysia too.
The Biro Bantuan Guaman (BBG) is a governmental body under the Bahagian Hal Ehwal Undang-Undang, Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Legal Affair Division, Prime Minister’s Department) providing legal advice and help to deserving members of the public.
Like the Legal Aid Centre (LAC) run by the Malaysian Bar Council, the BBG provides FREE legal ADVICE and REPRESENTATION to individuals who pass their qualifying criteria. In addition, they also provide subsidised legal services, and if you do not qualify for this either, they still provide guidance.
They have branches in all states and federal territories in Malaysia and have a very informative website of their services (http://www.bheuu.gov.my/bbg/latarbelakang.shtml).
Criminal / Syariah / Civil
The BBG will provide legal advice on all aspects of the law.
However, they only provide representation for certain types of cases (see http://www.bheuu.gov.my/bbg/perkhidmatan.shtml).
The main distinction between the BBG and LAC is that the BBG will only represent clients in criminal cases where the client pleads guilty to his or her charge. The exceptions to this are in small criminal offence (Kesalahan kecil jenayah) and child criminal (Jenayah kanak-kanak) cases.
Cases may be referred to the LAC or their external panel of lawyers – but the cost is borne by the BBG so long as clients meet their qualifying criteria and their cases fall under their scope of assistance.
What you should bring to a BBG branch:
You should carry the following documents when visiting a BBG branch:
1) Identity Card
2) Children’s identity cards / birth certificate (if applicable)
3) Marriage certificate (if applicable)
4) Divorce certificate / papers (if applicable)
5) Details of defendant (accused party) e.g., name, age, job, employer, etc.
6) Any other supporting and/or relevant documents
What happens after you walk into a BBG?
You will undergo a means test (see details below) and if successful, you will be required to pay a small registration fee of RM2.00 and fill up some forms at the premises. After the forms are submitted, an interview will be conducted to determine the full details of your case and actions that need to be taken thereon.
You will be required to sign a statutory declaration confirming your annual income is within the qualifying criteria set by BBG, and have this certified by a Commissioner of Oaths. Bear in mind that any applicants providing false information will be persecuted.
Means test
There are two main categories an applicant may fall into. Failing which, you can apply to the Director of BBG for a special exemption.
i. First category – Free Legal Aid
Applicants whose yearly income does not exceed RM25,000 (i.e. RM2,083 per month)
ii. Second category – Subsidised Legal Aid
Applicants whose yearly income is more than RM25,000 but does not exceed RM30,000 (i.e. RM2,500 per month).
iii. Special exemption
Applicants who do not qualify for the first or second category can apply for a special exemption to obtain legal aid with the approval from the ministry (Y.B. Menteri). This application is made through the Director of the BBG.
Where are the BBG located?
Address and contact details for BBG branches located nationwide are found at:

My father pass away 25yrs ago and left us the property which is now been occupy by my uncle since
the property bought from day one. The terms or conditions between my father and my step grandmother regards to the property is a matter of mutual agreement which we do not know .
The property is still under my father name.Legally we have the right over the property.
The question his how do I make my uncle and his family to move out .
I had a piece of land and went on a joint venture with a company who undertook to develope the land.That was 15 years ago.I am now old and cannot fend for myself anymore and turn to you for help.
I was working at Gabon Africa in forestry field. I was working with a Malaysia based company. But because of my own greediness, i make some mistakes and was caught for it. I admitted it and i was put in the prison there. I never blamed anyone as i know i myself doing the wrong thing. i was in the prison for 4 months. But things started to happen. As there is no Malaysia ambassy at Gabon, i cant find any help. I was locked in the police station lock up for 7 days and my company only visit me twice (bringing me food). the remaining days i didnt eat. Then i was judged and was put in prison. Inside the prison i realized that we need to support our own life.. example buying rice, drinks and others. We have to cook our own food by firewood which we have to buy also. Thats mean i need some money to support my life there. So i borrow some money from the prisoners there and called them. One the day i was put in the prison, my company never asked what do i need (towel, toothbrush and so on). Only when i called they came and bring me some clothes and snacks. I explain to them my needs and also tell them that my visa is going to expired. They said they will come again and help me to renew the visa. But i wait for so long they didnt come. I called them again and they came. I tried to explain my difficulties in prison to them again. They said they understand will come back for me after this. Again, they lied to me. They never come to help me. In that 4 months, i have to rely on the other african (black) prisoners to stay alive. After i came out from prison, my company called immigration to catch me as my visa is expired and i was lock up at the immigration for another week. I just want to ask, can a malaysian company treat a malaysian like that? Even though i made mistakes, but i face the justice without blaming them. But they treat me like that. There is no Malaysian ambassy there. I got no family there. They are the only one i can ask from help but they did this to me. I just want to know if i can sue them for this or what. I really felt upset with their act. Prisoner also have the right to speak. But why they treat me like this? Just imagine a malaysian (the only one) living in a black people prison without any help and i cant even speak thier language.
Give me some comment about this.. i really felt that i shoudnt being treated like this.

Many people suffer from this abuse of authority by the police. A friend of mine suffers he same fate. He was not at fault but the police, maybe the other party is their friend, decided to charge my friend. He maintained his innocence. The police brought a charge against him after about 1 year. However he has a lawyer friend who decided to help him in this case for free.
You should approach the Bar Council in your state and ask if they could help you.

Desperate lady
Dear Sir,
I am currently running a kindergarten at Kota Kinabalu under K, a Malaysian franchisor that deals with Kindergartens and child care. Over the past one year, I have encountered a lot of problems dealing with them especially in regard to the manner in which they treat us. In the course of my crisis, I did a net search and stumbled upon the Franchise Act only to find out that they did not comply with some of the compulsory conditions stipulated in the Franchise Act. One of the areas of non compliance is to Article 15 of the Act. aside this, they have also failed to comply with many things which they promised me when I signed the agreement with them. However, I have no more money to seek the help of private lawyers.
I would like to know if the Biro can help me take up this case? If I have the money, I would engage a private lawyer to help me out. But truly, my funds are exhausted after spending close to 100K in the operations including paying them a large sum of money already. For this reason I am asking if the Biro can help me.
Please reply to my inquiries as soon as possible.
my husband is going through custody battle with the melaka syariah court.His late wife pass away in 2003.They have a son,he is now 8 yrs old,he wont the custody battle after 4 yrs.
In the judgement he is required to send my stepson to the maternal grandmother’s hse in melaka every friday at 6.00pm and pick him up at 6.00pm on sunday.
So my husband is in court again to request a change in the judgement as the cost of travelling back and forth every week is costly.Since the beginning of these case we had to provide 5 witnessess,and none on their part.
We were scruternise as we are converts and not born muslims,our practise in islam is constantly questioned,what made things worst was that ,the Judge actually ask one of our witness who is also my good freind who is a malay lady as to why my husband chose to marry me instead of her. It was very low of the judge to ask such a question,moving on we have spend 11.000 ringgit already and every now and than they keep postponing the case which started in 2003 up to date.
My question is can they treat us like this knowing fully well that we are mualaf and practising islam as a way of life.
we are question do we pray,if yes how many times a day,what are pillars of islam,do we fast,if yes how many days did we fast,do we go to the mosque?
We are trying more than our best to be good muslims but treatment like this is so cruel and the judge sounds so bias base on our race.
What can i do?
thanks
I was married to my ex-husband and stayed in JB with our 2 children, a son and a daughter. I filed for divorce in 2000, and it was officially granted in May 2001. The court awarded the daughter, aged 3 years old by then, to me and the son, aged 6, to my ex-husband. My ex-husband also had not kept to his promise of paying me a monthly alimony of RM300 after the court case. During the 3 years period (2002-2004), not only did he not pay a single cent to me, I had to bring up my daughter myself in JB till she attended kindergarten at the age of 6 (2004). Back then, my ex-husband approached me again and I was convinced by him to let my daughter attend kindergarten in his home town, Batu Pahat (BP). At that time, I was promised by him to visit to my daughter regularly.
We did not file for asset distribution during the filing of divorce way back in 2000-2001. Actually, we had 2 houses purchased under our joint names. We sold the first house in Oct 2004, and I was not given my share of 50% as my ex-husband promised me that my share would be paid to me together with the second one after he sold it. In Jan 2005, I was asked by him to sign a document of the contents I was not made aware of at his lawyer’s firm:ABC
His lawyer explained to me that the document was for asset distribution (50 : 50) for the sale of second house. I signed the document based on the trust that the lawyer was fair and just. However, I could not get any single cent from my ex-husband after repetitive follow-ups as he replied with numerous excuses. At that moment, I was still in the dark.
I discovered the truth that I had been cheated to sign the “transfer of asset agreement” when I asked for the documentation proofs from his lawyer for personal income tax submission in 2005. The lawyer denied what I had mentioned to me and laughed at me instead.
Later I consulted and appointed my lawyer in Aug 2005 to take up this cheating case against his lawyer and my ex-husband: XYZ
My lawyer advised me to caveat the second house, and the case would be submitted to the Bar Council as this involved a lawyer. I was told by my lawyer that the “letter” was issued by Bar Council to my husband’s lawyer, and the reply is still pending from my ex-husband’s lawyer by now. I was informed by my lawyer that the case can only proceed after receiving the reply from my ex-husband’s lawyer. It had been far too long since I appointed my lawyer 3 years ago. I just wondered whether my lawyer had been “bought over” by my husband since my lawyer told me he knew my ex-husband’s lawyer).
On 5 Feb 2009, I went to check on the status of the second house at the land office in JB and found that the transfer was done (and the house is now under my ex-husband’s name and is currently rented out), and I was told by my lawyer that the caveat period was 6 years from Aug 2005, meaning it will expire in 2011. The transfer should not have taken place in less than 4 years since it was caveated since 2005. God, please help me.
There was no reply from the Bar Council yet according to my lawyer, and he asked me to wait.
In the last 2 years, I was barred from seeing my daughter, and not a single phone call was answered.
My Questions:
1. Can I file for a lawsuit for not paying monthly alimony to backdate since year 2001?
2. How can I recover my daughter from him? Should I file for a lawsuit to get back my daughter now, who is 11 years old, as he refused to let me see my daughter since 2004?
3. How can I recover my money for the first house which we sold in 2004? Is the S&P copy that I still hold valid?
4. How can I take this action on his lawyer for cheating me to sign the “transfer of asset” back dated to Jan 2005?
5. How can I check the status of my case in Bar Council as my lawyer mentioned that the case was responded by the Bar Council and still pending reply from his lawyer?
6. How can a caveat property can be proceeded with transfer? How to confirm that the caveat was done by my lawyer?
7. I married in 2007 again (without registration) and gave birth to a daughter aged 2+ now. Will it affected my claims over my daughter with my ex-husband
My last appeal:
Who can help me to recover my rights as I am a victimized mother and wife for the last 8 years? Don’t we always say that there is law enforced in Malaysia, and why I had been treated in this manner?

I was told that I owe the bank more than RM60 over just because I have not made payment of RM3000 and that was more than 10 years ago. I am not sure as I can’t really remember if I had paid the last payment for my credit card but I do remember asking to cancel it as I do not have a permanent job anymore then and not able to sustain the card. I am wondering why they ask for money after 10 years later? I have no money to give them even if I have to sell all my belongings, I can only give them back if they insist is the amount for RM4000. Those are my only savings. Please advice what I have to do inorder to resolve this issue. If they had done so back then, I would have paid them in instalment but now I can’t as I am not working. Please help!

But 1 day later….the lady come to shop claiming that she want to come to collect the notebook. So..i told her, her father had come. She bring her father to the shop and inform that this is the father not that man. So now the problem is…this lady customer insist me to compensate in money form instate of notebook. She demand of the purchase price of the notebook that she bought about 1 year ago. I very blur cause she don’t want me to compensate in notebook cause she claim she don’t trust me anymore. She even threaten to bring this matter to consumer rights. Please help, i need urgently advice.

I have registered my marriage but I never have any customary marriage, wedding dinner and honeymoon. My husband has consulted his lawyer who said that the divorce can only take place after two years of marriage registration. I would like to know about the process of the divorce and the time it will take. Is there any exception that the divorce can take place before the completion of first two years? I did not see him since early this year and I just want to get out of this marriage as soon as possible. We do not have any car and house. How much do I need if I am not eligible for the legal aid?
Thanks.
I’m witness of one potential criminal case & had made my statement with signature in Balai Polis BW on 17th August 2009, ~9:00pm. However, I had received a call from Inspector in-charged (Liew) on 19th August 10:30am to go to same police station for some clarification. Due to long meeting related to work, I reach police station at ~10:30pm on the same day. Inspector Liew was not there but I did ask the policeman in charge to call him. We agreed to meet again at 11:15pm. I drove back to my home for dinner & shower. I reach police station at 11:15pm and manage to meet up with Inspector Liew.
Surprisingly, he handed me a ‘new’ statement & ask me to sign on it. I was nervous & read through the statement thoroughly. I found some statement was not correct & deviate from what happened on that day. I counter check with him but he threaten me not ask question and just sign on the new statement.
I clearly told him that some statement I might not agree and hesitate to sign on it. Suddenly he became angry and tear off the new statement in front of me. Again, he threaten me and warn me that I will pay the price of not being cooperative. He then ask me to leave the his office. I check the time & found that it was ~11:45pm.
Please advice me what should I do under this circumstance. Moreover, I’m very worry that Inspector Liew will make the revenge since he keep on threaten me for not following his instruction to sign on ‘new’ statement. If he is doing something bad on me, what can I do to protect myself from his revenge?
On 31 May 2009, this teenager boy bang into the rear end of my car at a very high speed at a traffic light junction when my car is at stand still.

I just had a bitter experience with a Kindergarten located in Penang. The management asked me to pay the fees for November in installments from (May – Sept). I paid till August and stopped my children due to the way they handle the Kindergarten. Now they refuse to refund the money I paid for November saying that it is the procedure of all the kindergartens that they will not refund. Is this true and can they claim the money eventhough they never told me the money is not refundable. I need legal advise about this cause I want this sort of people get a lesson when they cheat people.
I decided to divorce about a year ago and was advised to file for joint petition. However, my wife still holding up and refuse to sign. How long can she hold up and what can i do?
A year ago a company from Klana Jaya invited me to a bird’s nest exhibition. Actually there was no exhibition but talk on investment in bird’s nest business. It was convincing and they said I could pay deposit by credit card & they could arrange bank loan for full investment amount within 2 weeks. The promoter also promised to pay for the credit card interest charges until a loan was approved. I paid RM 8,000 by credit card as 50% deposit for 1 lot of investment & receipt issued. They were not able to arrange loan within 2 weeks. 3rd week asked me to sign agreement & said loan in progress. After many calls & their unacceptable excuses, 10 weeks later I wrote letter to terminate all transactions/agreement & request refund of deposit & credit card interest charges. They threatened by saying agreement has been signed & refused to refund. If agreement signed then where are the profits promised? To date have not received single sen from this investment. Already made Police report, statement given to Commercial Crimes Division, complaint to FOMCA, information to Bank Negara Malaysia, Companies Commision,MPPJ. They don’t seem afraid or bothered taking people’s money. I don’t think they have deposit taking approval from Bank Negara. They have not replied to my first letter nor my second letter. Kindly advise how to recover my money as I desperately need money for my daughter’s surgery (RM 20,000++)

I have collected a deposit of RM10,000.00 to sell a piece of land to a potential buyer two months ago. No purchase contract or any document was issued from the broker and his lawyer. I acknowledged receipt of the payment by signing on a photocopy of the cheque at the lawyer’s office.
Three weeks later I decided to abort the deal due to the delay of the second payment and some other personal reasons. I do not intend to sell the land to any person because the money is not needed urgently anymore.
One week later I refund the same amount to the lawyer office. The buyer has collected the cheque and bank into his account. They informed me that in fact they have prepared the S&P agreement and signed on it.
Three weeks later I received a letter from the buyer’s lawyer to claim for a compensation of damage above RM12,000 and a legal fee of RM1,000.00. The claim including air ticket from oversea (above RM2,000), 20 days unpaid leave (above RM8,000) and other expenses.
My questions are:
1. Can I abort the deal after I have collected the deposit and before I sign on the S&P agreement?
2. Am I obliged to compensate the buyer for his expenses since I was not informed of the terms and conditions in writing or verbal when I collected the deposit?
3. Is the claim for compensation of damage reasonable?

Dear Sir,
I would really really appreciate your urgent kind advice. Please find below – my situation :
1. My stepfather left us (including of my mother and his 2 children) about 17 years ago and in that, his children has not touched 10 years of age yet.
2. He left us without any financial support or whatsoever kind of support. My mother has to single handledly work hard to support us.
3. The both of them bought a low cost flat house where both of the names are in it.
4. My stepfather contacted me yesterday to say he wants our home and he wants to either sell it or refinance it. We were very surprised with his decision as we couldn’t believe he has the cheek to do so especially when he left us without any finanancial support, my mother has to pay for the installments and I had to pay for the installment after my mother’s death. I do also have to look after my step brothers and ensure they are raised rightly and lovingly.
5. I called the bank who has financed our works and checked on situation. I was informed that he was there yesterday to check on the status of our house. I have just completed the payment of the house and did not further work on anything as if I need to work on anything, I have to contact him.
6. Please advice how can I go with the workings ? What do I do to ensure that our home does not go to him ?
Would apprecaite urgent revert.

Hi,
I am living in my parent’s condo and am currently facing a bathroom ceiling leak problem from the upper unit. I have already informed the problem to the managemnt and they confirmed that the leakage is from the upper unit. When the management informed the owner of the upper unit, he is delaying to carry out the repair work and also asking me to pay for half of the cost. I told the management that it should be the responsibility of upper unit owner to fix the leak that is causing damage to the lower unit. However, there are no actions taken by the management to sort out this problem. I would like to know what further actions that I could take to resolve this problem.
Thank You.
