How you can get help from Legal Aid Centers?

How do you qualify for assistance from the Legal Aid Center? The standard used are not the same in all of the States. In some States the minimum income level set is higher if the costs of living is higher. Where the cost of living is lower, the minimum income is lower. In Malacca the writer was told that to qualify one must be earning less than RM 600 a month. The applicant may have to pay certain disbursements to a lawyer who takes up her case. There is also no fixed rule for this payment, it all depends on the lawyer concerned. I understand that certain lawyers do not collect disbursements at all.
