Electronic records are essential to Malaysian Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) for business operations, accountability, regulatory compliance, and legal processes. However, inconsistent records management, inadequate metadata, unclear preservation controls, technological obsolescence, cybersecurity risks, and limited integration of legal requirements may weaken their evidential value. This study proposes an Electronic Records Preservation Framework (ERPF) for Malaysian GLCs, integrating governance and compliance, records lifecycle management, preservation and security, technology infrastructure, and human capability. The framework incorporates classification, metadata, retention, access control, audit trails, backup, migration, disaster recovery, staff competency, and monitoring. It aims to strengthen authenticity, integrity, reliability, security, accessibility, compliance, and organizational accountability.
