Document background
The Cease and Desist Letter for Harassment is a crucial legal tool in Malaysia's legal framework for addressing and stopping harassment. This document is typically used when an individual or organization needs to formally demand the cessation of harassing behavior before pursuing more serious legal action. It incorporates relevant provisions from Malaysian legislation, including the Penal Code, Communications and Multimedia Act, and where applicable, the Employment Act or Domestic Violence Act. The letter should be used when there is documented evidence of harassment and after informal attempts to resolve the situation have failed. It needs to include specific details of the harassing behavior, clear demands for cessation, and explicit warnings about legal consequences under Malaysian law. The document serves both as a formal warning and as potential evidence in future legal proceedings if the harassment continues.
