Private agencies in Malaysia must be licensed under the Private Agencies Act 1971. Here is what to ask before you hire anyone.
Unlicensed ‘investigators’ may use illegal methods that put you at legal risk and ruin your evidence. A licensed agency is accountable to the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN).
What to do
- Ask for the KDN licence numberOurs is KDN.S.205/642/1-3052. A real agency shows it openly.
- Check the company registrationSearch the SSM number (ours is 1327060-T) on SSM e-Search.
- Avoid anyone offering to hack phones or bank dataThese are crimes. They can make you liable too.
- Expect a clear scope and written reportProfessional investigators explain what they will do — and what they will not.
- Beware of guaranteed resultsNo honest investigator guarantees what the evidence will show.
