LEGAL JOURNAL 6th edition

Can a “Secret Record” save you in court... or land you in jail? ⚖️📱

We’ve all thought about it. Whether it’s a heated meeting or a private conversation, the temptation to hit ‘record’ is real. But in Malaysia, “Admissible” doesn’t always mean “Legal.”

- Is your hidden recording actually valid evidence under Section 90A of the Evidence Act?
- Could you be facing a CMA 1998 charge or a Defamation suit just for trying to protect yourself?
- Where is the line between “Gathering Evidence” and “Invasion of Privacy”?

The UM Legal Centre breaks down the law, the risks, and the ethics of covert recording. Don’t press ‘record’ until you’ve read this. 👆🏻
