Source-derived summary

There are two different kinds of swimming records in Malaysia and certified by Malaysia Swimming (MAS):

National record, more commonly referred to in Malaysia as the rekod kebangsaan: the best time recorded anywhere in the world by a swimmer or team holding Malaysian citizenship. So far Malaysia Swimming maintains an official list only in long course events.

Malaysian All-Comers record: the best time recorded within Malaysia by a swimmer or team regardless of nationality.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “List of Malaysian records in swimming” as wikimedia list article. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around List, Malaysian and records.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 74-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, Malaysian and records providing the first useful test.
