20. Retrenchment : The Law and Practice in Malaysia

The importance of job security in the form of continuity in employment in an organisation up to the normal retirement age applies to the general working population. Unfortunately job loss justified by economic and business needs is an inevitable and painful consequence of a corporate restructuring or reorganisation process. It is however essential that the termination of an employment contract on the grounds of redundancy must flow from justifiable grounds which must be bona fide and untainted by any unfair labour practice.
Retrenchment is full of legal intricacies. This book gives insight into the law and practice of retrenchment in Malaysia. Following an overview of the concept of retrenchment, it delves into the circumstances that might lead to retrenchment, the protection provided by the law, the calculation of retrenchment benefits and the payment thereof in the event of insolvency or the winding-up of a company, the operation of the Code of Conduct for Industrial Harmony, as well as the idea of the setting up of a retrenchment fund and the mechanism for its effective implementation from the Islamic law perspective.
Written by authors who have wide experience in employment law, this book makes regular reference to statutory sources and cases from the courts to explain the working of the law and practice of retrenchment. A chapter sets out illustrations from decided cases to assist the reader to better understand how retrenchment can be properly carried out, and the nature and quantum of benefits that may be awarded by the court. The operation of a voluntary separation scheme that often takes place in a business restructuring is also considered.
This book will certainly provide much-needed information to employers, employees and their legal advisers.

17.Caveat System in Sarawak 4th ed

Description
A caveat is a means of conveying notice to persons who propose to deal with a proprietor that there are other claims affecting the property. It is a key tool employed in day-to-day conveyancing and registration of land titles to protect alleged as well as proved interests and interests that have not yet become actual interests in land.

As the procedures involved in Sarawak are somewhat different to the operation of the caveat mechanism in Peninsular Malaysia, the book attempts to provide practical solutions to the complexities involved. The analysis and discussion of caveatable interests in various transactional situations will prove to be most helpful to practitioners when considering whether a certain interest may be protected by a caveat or in resisting a caveat that has been entered. 
Latest developments and case law have been included in bringing out this new edition of the book.
 Chapter outline:
  • System of Private Caveats
  • Removal of Private Caveats
  • Damages for Wrongful Caveat

14. The Constitution of Malaysia 
           Malaysia's constitution was set at the independence of the Federation of Malaya in 1957 along the lines of the Westminster model, embracing federalism and constitutional monarchy. That it has endured is explained in terms of the social contract agreed between the leaders of the three main ethnic groups (malay, chinese, Indian) before Independence. However, increasing ethnic tension erupted in violence in 1969, after which the contract was remade in ways that contradicted the basic assumptions underlying the 1957 Constitution. The outcome was an authoritarian state that implemented affirmative action in an attempt to orchestrate rapid economic development and more equitable distribution. In recent years constitutionalism, as enshrined in the 1957 Constitution but severely challenged during the high-authoritarianism of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's developmental state, has become increasingly relevant once again. However, conflict over religion has replaces ethnicity as a source of discord. This book examines the Malaysia approach to constitutional governance in light of authoritarianism and continuing inter-communal strife, and explains the ways in which a supposedly doomed colonial text has come to be known as 'our constition'.
