Reference data, not opinion
Two pages on this site are built directly from JAKIM's own published documents rather than from our reading of them: the gazetted fee schedules, and the per-scheme requirements behind our pharmaceutical, cosmetics and logistics pages. Every table on those pages carries its source and edition, and a build check fails if a figure stops matching the source document.
