Method & notes
IN BRIEF

Mal cases were by far the largest of these four published 2020 JKSM headline indicators.

METHOD & LIMITATIONS

How the numbers were calculated

PulseKita reproduces four national 2020 headline counts displayed by Jabatan Kehakiman Syariah Malaysia. The categories describe different court or registration functions and are not mutually interchangeable measures of the same thing.

  • Kes Mal is a broad civil/family-law case category in the Syariah court system.
  • Kes Jenayah refers to Syariah criminal case registrations, not PDRM crime statistics.
  • Pendaftaran Perkahwinan and Kes Nafkah are shown as separate published JKSM headline indicators.
  • The values are a 2020 institutional snapshot and should not be extrapolated into a current trend.
