Document background
A Non-Disparagement Agreement is commonly used in Malaysian business and employment contexts to protect reputational interests while complying with local law. This document becomes particularly relevant during employment terminations, business separations, or dispute settlements. It must balance the need to protect reputation with Malaysia's constitutional rights and contract law principles. The agreement typically specifies what constitutes disparagement, outlines permitted communications, includes enforcement mechanisms, and provides remedies for breach. Given Malaysia's multicultural business environment and increasing digital communication, these agreements often address both traditional and online forms of communication while considering local cultural sensitivities.
