Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Malaysia?
We list 22, 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 19 of the 22.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Malaysia?
100% of the 22 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.
