Hi everyone. I am asking if there is such thing as restraining orders in Malaysia? Or anything similar to it? I would like to know if the abused victim can get the authorities to prevent his/her immediate family members from every approaching and reaching out to them again in the near future.

If there is a website or a hotline for such kind of issues, please suggest it as I'd like to have a look. I'd like to know the procedures too (if any/applicable).

i'd like to know this too.
what have you got so far.
a friend is in trouble with her abusive ex

Hey there. It wasn't much when I did a bit of researching here and there. Since that Malaysia does not have a very solid "restraining order", but there are ways to lessen the blow. Since you mention about your friend trying to get away from her abusive ex, she will have to contact WAO Malaysia. Or visit their website for a clearer understanding of the procedures. https://wao.org.my/

Hope this helps.

excellent input. had a visit at the wao site. there are useful numbers there that she could use.
restraining order is important to a country like malaysia, where we hear often enough on how women got into harm's way due to their exes. it starts with stalking of course.
