Where these came from

These English-speaking lawyers come from 5 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (6), a German diplomatic mission (4) and my.usembassy.gov (4).

14 of the 16 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, which is a weaker claim and is labelled on each card.

Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Malaysia?
We list 16, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Kuala Lumpur, with 13 of the 16.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Malaysia?
100% of the 16 lawyers we hold in Malaysia are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
