This paper conducts a comparative analysis of various modalities currently being adopted in selected countries to address legal impediments to the citizens’ rights to impart public sector information (PSI). Previous studies have identified a myriad of laws currently in force in Malaysia which impede the citizens’ rights to impart PSI. In the absence of sui generis law on the right to information, disclosure, publication, communication and distribution of PSI is subject to these laws. This paper surveyed to identify the most appropriate modalities for adaptation in Malaysia and later suggested the appropriate modalities to address the legal impediments.
