This article is a qualitative legal study where data gathered through library research method and evaluated through analytical approach in its content. Provisions from international declarations and charters, Parliamentary acts, states' enactments, circulars and case decided by courts are scrutinized to understand the legal foundations which act as probihitory and pereventive measures towards LGBT-related activities from spreading. Findings of the analysis indicate that Islamic law provide wider scope of legal provisions compared to civil law relating to offences which involve LGBT group. However, the offences are subject to certain limitation of punishment and only applicable to Muslim offenders only. Due to the absence of specific law on LGBT from the legistalive bodies, legal enforcement bodies and public prosecutor only rely on public law; namely Penal Code, Syariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act 1997, Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, Entertainment (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) Act 1992 and Small Offences Act 1955. Thus, iti is hereby proposed that the Parliament and state legislative assembly shall act more progressively in drafting and approving legal provisions which are more specific and express to combat and control LGBT activities from continuing to tarnish the religious values, customs and cultures of Malaysian society.enMisconduct,LGBT,obliteration,control,law,MalaysiaArticle1934131
