Why Sinaran Legal
What sets a careful
reading apart.
We do one thing — pension and employment law in Malaysia — and we do it with attention to the documents, plain language in our findings, and a pace that lets you think before you act.

Six things that shape our practice.
Focused Practice Area
We limit our practice to pension and employment matters — not because other areas are unimportant, but because depth serves clients better than breadth in this field.
Written Findings, Always
Every visit and examination ends with a written document in your hands — not a verbal debrief, not notes you have to take yourself. A record you can read at home.
Plain-Language Communication
Legal findings written in straightforward English. We explain which provisions apply and why — without assuming a background in law.
Fixed, Transparent Fees
Three services, three prices, no surprises. RM 490, RM 1,170, and RM 1,910 — stated before any engagement begins and unchanged within the service scope.
Space Between Each Step
We do not push from one stage to the next. You receive findings, consider them at your own pace, and come back when you are ready — if you choose to proceed at all.
Full Legal Privilege
Communications, documents, and circumstances you share with us are protected by legal professional privilege under Malaysian law — the same protection that applies to any solicitor-client relationship.
In More Detail
Why each benefit matters.
Pension law is not general legal knowledge.
The EPF Act 1991, the Pensions Act 1980, and the Industrial Relations Act each create distinct processes and timelines for raising concerns and seeking recourse. A practitioner who reads these frameworks regularly will notice things that a generalist working from first principles might not — a contribution period that appears to have been calculated on the wrong rate, a benefit determination that omits a relevant circular, or a response letter that sidesteps the specific question asked.
Our team concentrates on these frameworks. That concentration means our documents review work is systematic rather than speculative, and our written representations are based on a reading of the applicable law rather than general advocacy.
You should understand what we find.
A legal summary that requires interpretation is not a summary — it is another document to work through. We draft our written findings to be read by the person who asked the question, not by another lawyer. Where legislation is cited, the provision is explained. Where a calculation is identified as potentially incorrect, the figures are set out clearly.
This matters particularly for pension matters, where the person affected is often making decisions about retirement income — decisions with consequences that require a clear picture of the legal position, not just a legal opinion to accept on trust.
Each service stands on its own.
The Pension Enquiry Visit and the Records Examination are complete services in themselves. After receiving the written findings, you are under no obligation — formal or informal — to engage further. We do not follow up with calls or messages; we are not waiting for you to sign up for the next stage.
Clients who proceed to the Long-form Resolution Programme do so because the findings pointed clearly to a matter worth pursuing — not because they felt propelled there by momentum.
Fixed fees make planning straightforward.
Open-ended hourly billing is uncomfortable when the final cost is unknown. Our three services each have a single, fixed fee — RM 490 for the Enquiry Visit, RM 1,170 for the Records Examination, and RM 1,910 for the Long-form Resolution Programme — stated in writing before any engagement begins.
Any disbursements that might arise (such as tribunal filing fees or formal document request charges) are discussed separately before they are incurred, so there are no unexpected items on a final invoice.
A clear picture is itself a useful outcome.
Not every pension matter warrants formal proceedings. Sometimes the records examination finds that the amounts are correctly calculated and the written summary simply confirms that — which is also valuable, because it resolves a concern that had otherwise been unresolved.
Where a discrepancy is found, or where an administrator's position appears to lack a sound legal basis, we identify those points clearly in writing. Whether to pursue them further is the client's decision to make with a full picture in hand.

What Makes Us Different
Things we do that are not standard practice.
Same-day written summary
At the Enquiry Visit, we draft the written summary during and immediately after your appointment, and you leave with it. Most practices send written notes days later, if at all.
Deliberate pauses between stages
We build consideration time into our service design. The next stage is only discussed once you have had the opportunity to read the findings from the current one.
Arithmetic shown in full
Where a calculation is at issue, we show the working. You can follow the figures yourself and verify whether our reading matches the documents.
Senior review of all written findings
Every written summary goes through the principal solicitor before it is handed to the client — regardless of which team member conducted the records examination.
