Where can I get help if I am experiencing financial abuse and control by my spouse?

You do not have to face it alone; several bodies specifically help victims of abuse. If you are in danger right now, call the police on 999 immediately. For advice, emotional support and referrals, contact Talian Kasih 15999 at any time. The Department of Social Welfare (JKM) can help with protection and basic needs, while the Syariah Court handles maintenance claims. For debt problems, the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) can help, and Legal Aid for legal matters. The family counselling unit at the state religious affairs office also provides advisory services. Start with one call today. See counselling.
