About Us

Malaysia's Top Ten is an independent ranking publication — who we are, what we publish, our methodology and principles, ownership and corrections.

Who we are

Malaysia's Top Ten is an independent Malaysian ranking publication. We are not a media conglomerate and we are not a directory that sells listings — we are a small editorial team building one thing: Top Ten rankings Malaysians can actually trust, cite and act on.

What we publish

Structured Top Ten rankings across four categories — Food & Dining, Travel & Hotels, Lifestyle and Business & Industry — using three disclosed ranking types: Data Rankings ordered by verifiable numbers, Editorial Rankings built on disclosed criteria, and People's Choice results decided by real customer sentiment — aggregated ratings from named public review platforms (such as Google), captured on a stated date, or a public vote where we run one. How every list is built is documented openly in Ranking & Methodology.

Why this platform exists

Malaysia has no shortage of "top 10" articles — but most are undated, unsourced listicles with no methodology, no verification and no way to report an error. When everything is a top ten, nothing is. We built the opposite: rankings with a declared basis, verification dates, named accountability and a working corrections process.

Our principles

  • Ranking positions are never for sale. No advertiser or partner can buy a place, a position, or a competitor's removal.
  • Same rules for everyone. Every candidate in a list is assessed against the same published criteria.
  • Show the working. Every ranking states its type, criteria, sources and dates — if we can't disclose how a list was built, we don't publish it.
  • Stay current or say so. Entries carry verification dates; rankings show published and last-updated dates.
  • Fix errors visibly. Upheld corrections are made in the article with the change noted.

Ownership and funding

Malaysia's Top Ten is owned and operated by ANICOM BRANDING & MARKETING SDN. BHD. (Registration No. 201901030410 / 1339740P), a Malaysian company incorporated in 2019 whose business includes web portals and media production. The site is funded by its founders and, over time, by clearly labelled advertising, sponsorships and partnerships that operate under our Commercial Disclosure — commercial relationships never influence editorial rankings.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to assist with research, drafting and data organisation. A human editor is responsible for every published ranking, and facts that decide positions are verified against the sources our methodology requires. Our full position is in the Editorial Policy.
