The Reference Library.

Ad cost benchmarks, KKM/MDC/PDPA compliance references, Malaysian business regulation guides and industry cost sheets — the same reference material we use running client work, published openly with sources.

Every entry below is a permanent, dated reference — benchmark ranges from managed accounts (Malaysia and Singapore) or curated from published sources (Australia), advertising-compliance guides tied to specific statutes and regulator guidance (KKM, MDC, MOH, PDPA, AHPRA/TGA), and Malaysia-specific business regulation like e-invoice deadlines, SST on digital marketing, PDPA 2024 amendments, minimum wage and public holidays. For the interactive versions of these references, see our free tools hub.

How this library is maintained

Everything published here has a named primary source and a verification date. Benchmarks come from managed-account data with a stated 20-observation publishing threshold — see the methodology page for exactly how bands are formed and what verify_gate means. Compliance references cite the specific statute or regulator clause, not our inference. Regulation changes are tracked and dated on the Regulation Tracker. If a reference here surfaces a gap you'd rather have handled for you, our services and industry programmes pick up from where these guides stop.
