Abstract
The Unexplained Wealth Order in the United Kingdom allows the confiscation of corruptions' assets without conviction. The burden of proof lies on the asset owner to prove its legitimate source. This study addresses the applicability of the Unexplained Wealth Order in Malaysia. A qualitative methodology based on doctrinal study supported by an opinion of an academician in the United Kingdom is adopted. Analysis of the Unexplained Wealth Order is required as part of civil means to recover the proceeds of corruption in Malaysia. The study may assist the stakeholders in Malaysia in understanding the concept of the Unexplained Wealth Order.
