Undang-undang Angkasa
Malaysian Law

For the purpose of regulating the activities in outer space, the National Space Agency (ANGKASA) in collaboration with the Attorney General�s Chambers has initiated a draft Malaysian Outer Space Bill which is intended to be a specific legislation to regulate outer space activities by Malaysia. Currently, Malaysia has in place certain existing legislation relating to certain aspects of space activities such as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 which regulates licensing relating to Malaysian communication satellites. Pursuant thereto, consultations are being undertaken with the relevant stakeholders in order to finally enact a space law to regulate Malaysia�s outer space activities. In formulating a domestic legal framework, Malaysia is also guided by the relevant international law principles relating to outer space activities, such as, the United Nations treaties on outer space, principles adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, and other international agreements relating to activities carried out in outer space.
United Nation Treaties

The said United Nations treaties are as follows:
Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and other Celestial Bodies; (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SpaceLaw/outerspt.html)
Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the return of objects Launched into Outer Space; (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SpaceLaw/rescue.html)
Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects; (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SpaceLaw/liability.html)

Malaysia is also currently studying the feasibility of acceding to the other three treaties referred to in paragraphs (3) (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SpaceLaw/liability.html), (4) (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SORegister/regist.html) and (5) (http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/SpaceLaw/moon.html).
