Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department , M. Kulasegaran. - BERNAMAPIX: The Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department has embarked on the path towards enacting the Mental Capacity Act for Malaysia.

It also includes situations where a person may be undergoing surgery or is suffering from temporary mental incapacity, in that sense. He said the Mental Health Act 2001 which Malaysia has in force at present only allows for the court to set up a committee to look after the affairs and estate of a person with a mental disorder after the person is already mentally incapacitated.
